Yeah, that's got Bad News and Law Suit written all over it. :nope:

How about an app that tells you to put the <expletive deleted> phone DOWN while you are driving?

But then people would whine about not being able to use their precious cell phone while they are a passenger. :damn:

After all, it has been confirmed in "a study" that if you can't access your cell phone at least every 15 seconds you will die. :yep:
