I like the idea, disables only the drivers cell phone in the vehicle, testing it with big rigs/trucks in India now.
Would this fly here in NA? with all the hands-free etc options, people are still distracted, but maybe have it such that it disables the cell phone if not using hands-free?

on a bike related note, what if you rigged a jamming device on your bike that disabled phones within a 20 ft range of whoever was driving near you? Would see a bunch of confused cagers

The jamming system operates whenever the driver turns on the ignition. The jamming device receives radiation emitted by the phone. The device can tell whether the mobile phone is being used by the driver or the passenger.
"Once the driver's use of cell phone is detected, a low-range jammer deactivates the cell phone without affecting other passengers' cell phones. The system is powered by the vehicle," said Shabeer, who has graduated in computer science and engineering from Anna University, Chennai.
