Will This Stop You From Texting And Driving?

      It’s no secret that drivers face distractions while behind the wheel.

Texting while driving is  considered dangerous by many people, including authorities. It  has been outlawed for all drivers in  Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

A Virginia-based company is working on  a product   that can tell if a person inside the vehicle is texting behind the wheel.This  device  picks up on radio frequencies that come from a cellphone being used inside the car.  Text messages emit a different frequency than other cellphone activities. This would allow such a device to determine if a driver were possibly sending a text behind the wheel.

If you’re driving down the road in the future and you see a cop pointing what appears to be a radar gun your way, stepping on the brake to slow down might not help you out. Speeding might not be what he’s looking for!
