Zoom Safer
Driving while texting, emailing or talking on the phone is not only potentially hazardous it is also against the law in an increasing number of states. According to Zoom Safer:
“A recent study by the University of Kansas Transportation Research Institute claims that cell phone users are 5.36 times more likely to get in an accident than undistracted drivers.”
Zoom Safer offers a free software download to help you control what your mobile devices will and won’t do while you drive. The software activates while you are driving (not exactly sure how
) and can block incoming calls and texts according to your preference. It can also send text or messages to selectively notify others where you are.
Other premium options allow for voice-based access to texting, Twitter, emails and more or control options for organizations or parents to set boundaries or limits.











Hi Chris:
Thanks for the great post on this important topic.
My name is Matt Howard, and i am the co-founder of ZoomSafer. Regarding your question “about how it works”. Essentially we use GPS in a clever (light weight) manner to determine speed — and trigger policy settings. If interested you can visit http://www.zoomsafer.com/what-is-zoom/how-zoom-works to view a brief presentation. Also, if you’d ever like to chat live just let me know. I can be reached at matt@zoomsafer.com.
Cheers,
Matt Howard
