Make a ‘car mode’ setting a mandatory feature on all new smartphones.

Petition Details

We believe that car mode will reduce the number of accidents on our roads.
Specifically, car mode would, when activated, and until such time it was turned off. Disable all phone calls, text messages and any form of application-based alerts that require the user to interact with the phone.

Additional Information

26% of all car accidents were caused by drivers using a mobile device (1 in 4). Connected Driver Survey 2015 - MORI Social Research Inst.

Dialing a phone increases you chance of having an accident by 12 times while reading or writing a text increases your chances of having an accident tenfold.
According to a RAC Foundation survey, 60% of people "would be happy to use a 'vehicle safe mode' on external devices in cars."
