Using a cell phone while driving

by David Allen on Saturday, June 16th, 2007

This could be a thing of the past, when a system created by HWST USA, can detect if a cell phone is being used by a driver of car while the car is moving.

This has been seriously considered by many states in the US, as the chances of an accident is increased by around 400 per cent if a driver is using a cell phone while driving.

The system will automatically detect if the driver is using a cell phone and records the car in order for the authorities to make a case against the offender, although it has to be said that in some states it is not an offence.

The system will detect and cite drivers and in some case it has been considered that a paint gun be attached to the system and firs on the car to notify the police down the road, there has even been talk of some sort of EMP system that can knock the cell phone out of action, scary!!

    What a wonderful article, so full of information and facts. Doesn't waste the writers or readers time giving mundane information like who "HWST USA" is, where the system will be located or through what magic this might work. It's obvious. Great to know that no longer will Cops have to risk their lives hiding behind highway signs or bushes to catch violators, saving many man hours, no doubt. I would love to know just how it determines the driver and not a passenger is using the phone (goggle camera). No matter, even a passenger might be distraction to the driver justifying intervention. I would suggest just one improvement, instead of "firs" a Paint Gun at the offending car, use a RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) That would render mute the need to pull over the car and issue a ticket saving more man hours. Possibly with miracles device accidents could be a thing of the past. The only think I might fault the article with is the error of it's date June 16. I first read this, April 1, 2007
