  • Publication number: 20120214408
    Abstract: The present invention is aimed at preventing cell phone use by a driver of a vehicle. The present invention accomplishes this by physically isolating a cell phone so that the driver cannot use the cell phone but for a hands-free device. Upon docking of the cellular phone into the present invention, the authorized driver is permitted to operate the vehicle. Although the system allows multiple designated vehicle operators, it only allows cell phones of registered drivers to activate the ignition, thus also serving as a deterrent to vehicle theft.
