A North Carolina Toyota Dealer Shares Phone Apps to Encourage Safe Driving

Feb 2, 2013

Car accident statistics show us that driving distractedly is the cause of more accidents than driving drunk. The leading cause for distracted driving is cell phones. Your North Carolina Toyota dealer shares the following phone apps to encourage safer driving:

ZoomSafer to Prevent Smartphone Use While Driving

The ZoomSafer app was designed primarily to help teenagers when driving. ZoomSafer prevents the use of the phone’s web browser, email and texting if the car is moving. Parents have the power to restrict phone calls in general but to allow certain phone numbers that can still be used while the car is in motion. This allows the teenager to accept calls from their parents or to call home for example, but they would be unable to call their BFF while driving.

TextBuster Stops Texting and Driving

TextBuster is an app that requires the installation of a Bluetooth device under the dashboard. The device sends a signal to the phone to block text messages, email and the web browser. The TextBuster app does not prevent drivers from making or receiving phone calls, as these can be made hands-free. Passengers are not affected by the TextBuster app or Bluetooth device and can use all features of their phone.

Drivesafe.ly Pro

The Drivesafe.ly Pro app is designed for people who absolutely cannot go without their phone while driving. The app will make your phone read text messages and emails to you, so you never have to take your eyes off the road. You don’t have to pick up the phone to push a button to make it read you your messages, either. It’s a completely hands-free solution that keeps you connected while safe behind the wheel.
