    My car has a Bluetooth system built in which means I can answer calls by pressing a button on the steering wheel or by saying call -insert name- and then it calls the person. Apparently if I receive a text the car can read it to me. Pressing the answer button on the steering wheel is distracting enough without dictating a message back at the car so I don't bother using that. I'm not sure if a message reader like that is good bwzause it'll stop people looking at their phones or whether it will just be a different distraction.

    Really sorry for your loss Gendros and good luck with your campaign. If you can just reduce the number by 1 at least some good will have come out of the terrible situation.
