Parents are not the only ones concerned about distracted driving; Penny Gusner, consumer analyst for insurance.com states "The bottom line is drivers that are being distracted […] need to recognize this behavior and change or they are likely to end up in an accident or receiving a ticket".

Joan Woodward, president of the Travelers Institute and executive vice president of public policy for Travelers said "We're urging all our commercial lines clients to have a very strict policy in place for their employees about distracted driving-not only to have it, but to put it into practice, that's really the key to curbing some of these commercial auto losses." 3 According to Travelers, 43% of employed American adults who drive admit to making work-related communications such as emails and calls while driving.
WebSafety's patents address methods of inhibiting the use of certain functions of cellular devices such as Short Message Service (SMS), Multi-media Message Service (MMS) and email while the user of the mobile device is also operating a vehicle.
