Sorry I'm driving!

I do talk when I'm driving but if I'm on the highway or something I use my bluetooth. But sometimes I forget it and just pick up the phone. I pick up for only certain ringtones...my parents and boyfriend have the same ring tone so if it's from them I will pick it up because they are calling me for a reason. I don't thik I'm endangering lives especially if I use a bluetooth, both hands are the on the wheel..etc.

I don't think when a mobile with a sensor tat signals for a sorry i m driving message, Bcoz such a mobile costs more. Unless thr's a good order or customer requirement, no manufacturer will release such a costlies product.. And their's very less percentage who use for such a case. I think it depend's on individual who receives or reject's or keeps mobile in silent.. I prefer my mobile to be in silent

That is an excellent idea my friend and I wish mobile phone companies would take that on board. I know that is it illegal for someone to speak on a mobile phone whilst driving if they are holding the phone. Even if they are using a hands free kit their attention during the call might be directed away from the road. If I rang a friend and had such a message I would ring back later.

Why should cell phone manufactures add this to the phone when you already have caller ID and voice mail. If it is not safe to answer your phone then do not answer it. If the temptation is to great then turn your phone off while driving and then you can turn it back on when you are no longer driving. A phone is not an instant messanger, there is no reason to have that option. My sister's recorded message is that she is either at work or ignoring the phone, she will call back. It is a very effective message. For this instance it could be: If I do not answer my phone it is because I am driving. For mine I actually have: If I do not answer I am either driving or in class because the rest of the time I answer, leave a message.

i am not a manufacturer, but I think it is a great idea. That way people wouldn't try to just get that quick question in "since you are driving" because you know if you answer it at all they are going to try to get something in real quick!!! Then they would know that you were not simply ignoring the call but that it really isn't safe for you to take it at the present time!!

Yeah you are right! Cell phone manufacturers could come up with some technology related to picking up phone calls while driving in the future. But yet we have to listen to what your caller has to say and this can take your concentration away from driving. So I don't think that any technology related to this can come up! Happy mylotting!

i love the idea. Personally, i don't like to answer my cell when I'm driving. I know right now there are bluetooth, handsfree device, but sometimes it still distracting when u drive.

What a great idea! You could set your phone with that message for all calls before getting in the car. I’ve had to explain that I was behind the wheel when my phone rang on many occasions because, not only I worry about the safety aspect but knowing my luck a cop will come towards me from around the corner as soon as I put that phone to my ear!

That sounds like a good idea. Of course a lot of people probably wouldn't use the feature, but I think many would, since they know that the caller is not being ignored. As long as its optional and can be overrided in case of emergency.

I strongly agree with you. so when we do not control direpotkan with the sound of the phone. in addition to safety as well.

an additional feature on the cellphone? that will be nice and a safe precautionary measure. thank you for this discussion. ann

I don't accept the call while driving, unless if I complete my cellphone with handset. It's too dangerous if we call while driving, and I'm always denied the call. The manufacturer have been considering this for safety and style.

your idea might actually work. i mean people are just inherently lazy. some of them are not so safety conscious. just like in a car there are precautionary measures being installed like the airbags for example. i think having a feature where you could just place your status on a cellphone might actually work to promote safety. just like the one you mentioned above. with online chatting, we do know the status of the person whom we want to chat with. like with ym there are status like available, i'm busy, brb, etc. well, why not adopt this status feature on cellphones so that the caller might actually have an idea what the person on the other line is doing? i think your idea is excellent! i think it will be the future of cellphones.

I don't think it depends on the manufactures of cell phones, but depends on the company which provides your service. If they provide the service of voice mailbox, then you may set the word in advance "I am driving. Please leave your message". Then you may close the ring of your cell phone and needn't answer it when driving, all calls will be transferred to the voice mailbox automatically.
