Cell phones know where they are - they have to, in order to know which cells to connect to. Thus, they also know when they are moving. I would like to see a mandatory "feature" in cell phones that prevents the use of text messaging features when the cell phone detects that it is moving.
Actually, to tell the truth, I'd like to see all cell phones with a mandatory "feature" that shuts them down entirely when they detect they are moving!
Failing that, perhaps a portable jamming device that could be mounted in my motorcycle, that would disable all cell phones in a 1000 foot radius around me, forcing people to hang up and drive.

This I think would make the situation worse because then you have a frustrated texter trying to figure out what is wrong with their phone and becoming even more distracted.
I personally feel that texting should just be eliminated all together from cellphones.

Cell phones only need one radio tower to send and receive a signal and it could be within a 10-15 mile radius for 800-900 mhz phone (obsolete) or a 5-10 mile radius for 3-4 ghzphone (current phones)of the cell phone. In order to do locaton, cell phone must do quadralateral locationoff at lest four towers. The way it works is it picks up the signal off the four towers and by the speed of which the signal"bounces" of each tower locates the cell phone, there "locating" the phone. The rate at which the phone sends out the signal and receives it is only milli seconds but how often it sends the signal out can vary. There other mitgating circumstances like terrain, atmospheric conditions, propagation patterns of cell towers that could make it harder to do.
