Now, device that stops you from texting while driving

Washington, Jan 24 (ANI): A tech firm has come up with a device that disables your mobile phone functions while driving.

Scosche's cellCONTROL connects to an OBD-II port, which is present in most of the cars built after 1996.

It uses Bluetooth signaling to disable usage by blocking calls, messaging and Internet use when the vehicle is in motion, Discovery News reported.

If a hands-free device is connected or the car halts, the phone's features will become accessible.

If someone tries to disable the device, an alert will automatically be sent to an administrator via text or email when it is deactivated or tampered with.

The device is compatible with 1,200 devices and is presently available on their site. (ANI)
