New technology can save the lives because of blocking the signal of the mobile phone while car driver is driving, The Times informed. Such an automatic blocking is able to prevent motorists using the phone at the wheel.

New technology, which is blocking the mobile phone’s while a car is driving by the driver, became a subject of discussion. Ministers will meet with car manufacturers and mobile companies to discuss how new technology can be used to stop drivers making texts and calls while on the road.

The paper said that almost one in three drivers admit to having used their phones while on the road in the past year. According to the statistics, too often the conversation on mobile phones while the driving ends tragically.

Paul Baker, of Witney, is one of a number of people in Oxfordshire to campaign against phone use while driving. His 14-year-old daughter, Liberty, was killed in 2014 by a driver who was using his phone moments before he hit her in Curbridge Road. Accidents involving a driver being distracted by talking on a mobile phone have begun to be prosecuted as negligence similar to speeding.
