When you are on a drive and suddenly your phone rings, what will you do? Would you care to stop to entertain the caller or the texter? Would you just ignore it and wait until the ride is over? Or would you grab it right at the moment it blares? Different people would pick different actions. However, how many do you think of all the drivers out there pick their phones right away? And how many of those meet accidents due to those acts?

Many (though only a few will admit) know the consequences of using mobile phones while driving. A survey conducted in the United States revealed that 91 percent of American adults believe that driving while texting is often as dangerous as driving after drinking. However, even though a great majority of American adults believe that way, still, two out of three people who drive a car use their mobile phones to either send a text message or an e-mail.

With numerous accidents brought about by texting while on the road, it is necessary that this technology should provide a solution to this wreck they are bringing. Many claim that there is a need to illegalize texting while driving; however, the drivers’ need for information and communication while on the road is taken into consideration.

With that, Pinger (a company composed of inventive people whose task is to create and run consumer services to make a difference to people’s life), had come up with a solution to that problem. They came up with a voice messaging system wherein the driver will just give the contact name and message through speaking to a hands-free headset. After that, the message is sent to any mobile phone he/she wants. However, this is only limited within the boundaries of the United States. With that technology, there is no more need for the drivers’ hands to leave the steering wheel. Therefore, a safer ride is on the way.

It is great knowing that drivers on the road are still given the opportunity to communicate. It’s a wonderful experience for drivers out there. I, personally, salute to this invention!
