New App Will Block Texting & Driving

The Iowa Department of Transportation is working on an app that would prevent drivers from texting and driving, according to a report in The Des Moines Register.

The app will be called TXTL8R. It will work by turning off the texting availability on a phone when it detects that it is in a car that is going over 15mph. The app which is slated for release early next year, would let parents monitor the driving and texting behavior of their teens.
