His passion of technology grew with mobile phones when he dreamed that the capabilities of phones would eventually make one's life much easier. Since then it's been his mission to advocate the push of mobile technology to anyone who will listen.

  I’ve shared the story about the kid in tx that was texting and driving before he got into an accident his last one sent said something to the effect of “I need to stop texting I could get killed”

  Sweet deal !!!prevention is best !!!

• Vineeth Pillai

  I appreciate Intomobile’s and ATT’s initiative to spread the word about Stopping Texting while driving. I myself try to discourage people trying to text while driving if I am in the vehicle. It would be great to have the SMS and phone app intelligently identify whether the person is texting or calling while driving, using the sensors and camera and then use audible warnings to discourage the driver. That would be the best way to get the word across all the drivers

  Prevention is best definitely spreading the word of text n driving thru facebook n other social sites

  Through the power of Social Media, help show people what the dangers of Texting while driving are. I have already shared an image of an Corvette under the trailer of a semi, where the driver was decapitated.

  Samsung G3 would be great to win because I have had a stroke and have vision problems and really enjoyed having full vision, As they say you don’t know what you got till it’s gone and texting & driving will eventually cost you alot, Maybe even your LIFE. That’s is a guarantee.. So before you text & drive ask yourself if it’s worth it, cause if you get injured your loved ones are going to Take care of you. Do you really want them to suffer for your STUPIDITY.

• http://www.facebook.com/myk.nicol Myk Nicol

  I think it should be illegal to text and drive in every state. I know it won’t stop everybody but I think that the majority of Americans who are fined for doing this would be encouraged to stop. So I think the best way to get results would be contacting a state representative or a congressman and submit a signed petition. I have a great deal of faith in this method. I am going to advocate for this with or without winning a phone..

  I agree with Myk. It should be illegal and people who are doing so should be fined. Or at least people should applications such as Siri or S-voice while driving. Although it may keep your attention to your phone, at least your eyes are on the rode. Many innocent people die because of this and I believe strongly they have died and unfair death because someone had their phone out, which could have been easily prevented! I support the cause of itcanwait

• Eli Pomerantz

  I believe more than anything awareness is needed most of this accidents come from teens and young adults, making them aware that it can wait and by doing so you may save your life and the life’s of others, should be enough of a reason to have people be more sensitive to this issue. therefore you may not only

• Bcskelly

  Encourage driving modes with larger buttons and voice dictation because you know people will text and drive anyway, so you might as well give them a way to do it safer. Perhaps even driving modes that activate when the phone senses via gps that it’s moving at a high rate of speed.

• http://twitter.com/_MikeSD Mike

  I think car companies play a huge role in this, the more car companies that have compatibility with voice assistants like siri and google now will greatly decrease the need to text while driving. I believe chevy announced last week that their cars will have compatibility with siri and I think more car companies should do the same.

• Janiess

  Ideas travel by word of mouth and practice, as much as I love technology some things just don’t mix like alcohol and driving, texting should be treated as a DUI I feel more wouldn’t do it if the penalties were higher

  I don’t think people actually realize how dangerous texting and driving is…. So lets forget the obvious danger and talk about the facts…. If you get into an accident while texting…. every text including date & time stamp is recorded and it wont be long until someone figures out that you were texting at the time of the accident…. g-d forbid if there is any loss of life or serious injury and you manage to luckily end up okay…. your life is screwed. Period.

  I would love to get my car painted in a “It can wait” theme so everywhere I drove people would know that they shouldn’t be texting and driving.. and have some it can wait thumb bands or magnets or something that people could take off my car as a reminder to themselves..

  Also with the s3 you can use those tactiles and program them so you could change your phones setting to turn off texting or put your phone in some mode or something to stop texting.. I know the at&t s3s have a driving mode app I bet you can get them for every carrier..

• TKS

  Quick reply texts aren’t safe enough. It’s still like texting. Once you’re in your vehicle and the phone is placed face down, it should pick up the movement and only allow E911 calls. If you need GPS, pull over, stop then enter coordinates, once the phone is placed back down it will allow directions or nav. Once you are not driving the phone will go back into ‘normal’ mode. The only way to solve the crisis is to make people do it. We are never ever disciplined enough. But that right there is your end all texting while driving. Code it, then OTA. Of someone tries hard enough to get around that, they must not value their’s or the lives of others. Do it At&t, SET THE BAR, SHOW THE WORLD YOU DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

• Alfredo Vasquez

  I think it would be best to share the information with the community, especially teens. Perhaps giving a pamphlet or video to high schoolers with a heartbreaking story about the real dangers of texting and driving would open their eyes to what they are really risking when they are behind the wheel texting. Real life stories tend to stick more than simple warnings and lectures about it that teens interpret as annoying. Giving out free stuff to younger adults is a good idea to get the word out and encourage them to quit texting while driving before another life is lost to it. I have taken the pledge and will share the link with my friends, urging them to do the same.
