Have the phone's GPS chip determine if the phone is moving faster than 20 mph, then flash a morgue photo of the latest traffic accident victim on the phone's screen.

Have the speaker play sound of screeching tires, rending metal and broken glass, followed by screams, then sobs, whimpers and a last gasp.

Finally, a cheery voice says, "If you still want to make that call while driving, dial away, dummy!"

"This accident happened on September 28th, 2005 in Riverview FL. A careless driver on a cell phone blazed through a red light at 55 mph and struck my mom's drivers door as she was going 20 mph attempting to make a left turn towards home. Her car was pushed 40 feet and my mom's neck was broken in 2 places. She died instantly. As her daughter, and someone that had to go to the scene to identify her, I can't tell you enough-"

Your suggestion has merit. And heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother.

Condolences for your loss. Perhaps you suggestion would be okay in the event that the phone's keys are depressed while the vehicle is in motion. On the rare occasions I “use” my phone while driving I only use my bluetooth, and keep any call extremely short. Thus, having my phone blare away at me seems excessive under these conditions.

I am very sorry for your loss but if you think “cell phones” are to blame, you are mistaken. People eat, they put on makeup, they socialize, they scream at their kids and many other things that cause accidents. Cells are just the latest thing to blame.

The lady across the street had her daughter killed by someone who ran a light while drinking coffee.
