Slashdot aired this little beauty earlier today and I thought it was timely in respect to the article written a couple of days back here.

This really says to me; “Well hell, if fines and/or laws won’t stop people texting or taking phone calls whilst driving then the software developers will”. It’s was only really a matter of time before something like this was introduced and rest assured the insurance companies will jump on the bandwagon fairly soon and make this type of thing mandatory. Depravation of liberty or downright big brother taking a further step???*Feel free to sound off in the comments section.*
Quoted from Slashdot:“Canadian company Aegis Mobility has developed software that detects if a**Register To See Links*. If so, the software,**Register To See Links*, will alert the cellular network, telling it to hold calls and text messages until the drive is over.
