i'm fine with the concept, but setting it to block messages at 5 or 10 mph is dumb. it just means that they'll try to squeeze messages in while stopped at lights, etc. and be rushing to complete sending them as they start to drive, likely not moving their vehicle until their message is sent.

my better solution would be a key or card that works for both the cell phone and the car. it can only be used in one device at a time and it would be impractical to remove it while stopped at a light.

or even better, parents can realize that their kids are not that stupid and will just go buy a tracfone with their own money.
