High-Tech Devices Help Drivers Put Down Phone

Dede Haskin's constant companion would be her cellphone. It has been her companion for more than a decade. She also said she considered herself a careful driver. Though, she has missed many exits while driving even while using a hands free set. To solve this problem, she signed up for ZoomSafer. What is ZoomSafer? ZoomSafer uses her phone's GPS censors to show if she is driving in the right speed. It then disables her cellphone until she stops her car. The great thing about this is that it is free! I thought this service seems helpful to those that are always busy. It keeps more people safe because you don't have to do two things at once. It's better to focus on one thing than doing two things at once.
