Ban texting while driving? There's an app for that - East Valley Tribune: Arizona

Ban texting while driving? There's an app for that - East Valley Tribune: Arizona: "A free application that helps to curb the urge to text while driving is available for AT&T customers as part of the company’s “Texting Can Wait” campaign.
“AT&T is trying to stigmatize texting while driving,” said Scott Huscher, a spokesman for AT&T.

The DriveMode application stops the sound of incoming calls while the app is turned on. It also sends automatic messages in response to calls, text messages and emails. While the app is active, text and emails can’t be read or even composed.
However, the application always allows for emergency calls to 911. Additionally, the app has the option to allow incoming calls from up to five programmable phone numbers."
