Device stops texting while driving by stopping driving while texting

Some systems have tried to prevent texting while driving by shutting down your phone. But what if you prefer more drastic repercussions, such as stranding the offender somewhere with a car that won't start? The ORIGOSafe works by requiring you to insert your smartphone into a dock before the car can start. Should you try to remove the phone before the car is shut down, it sounds an alarm and locks you out of the system, preventing you from restarting the car until an administrator unlocks it for you. If you forget to turn the car off before removing your phone, you'd better hope your administrator is around, or you're not going anywhere. [Source]
