   yet another dumb idea that doesn't address the actual problem, stupid   
   irresponsible drivers.   
      
   having a phone render itself inactive means *passengers* will be   
   affected because *their* phones won't work.   
      
   rendering a phone inactive because the vehicle is in motion is stupid,   
   especially since there are a lot of very useful apps that help make for   
   safer driving, including gps navigation apps and many more.
