M2. My Greatest Idea Ever

Texting and driving is an awful thing that quite frankly, no matter how big the consequences are whether it's death or major injuries or just a big fine, isn't going to end.  People text and drive or take a call or even just look at their phone, are putting their life and other lives at stake.  I can almost guarantee you there is someone using their cellular device as I type this right now.  Two years ago, in 2010 33,788 lives were lost in the United States alone from just getting in an accident while being distracted.  Over 8,000 crashes occur daily due to distracted driving according to AAA.  Common Sense Media says that 80% of teenage girls admit to texting behind the wheel, compared to only 58% of teenage boys.  Every 1 in 4 police reported crash is traced back to a driver being distracted.  The problem is more towards teenagers and young adults from the ages of 16 to mid-20’s.  I honestly don't know what to do or what anyone can do to stop the madness that is going in the world of driving.  Well you know what would be cool and a way to stop this? Put a chip inside of the phone and it can read when you’re in the driver's seat.  Like when the car is on and in motion and you pull your phone out for something, what if the phone had the ability to automatically shut off the car.  Like think of how awesome that would be if it had that power.  Think about it, you decrease the risk of an accident or a death; you decrease the chance of being pulled over and being fined.  That is a great idea that I just came up with.  I'm very proud of myself and someone should look into this.
