What if there was a product that would automatically stop a driver from texting or surfing social media while driving? There is such a product but it isn’t widely known or used because the wireless carriers are throwing up roadblocks.

We all know the time change messes up our sleep. That also increases our risk of being in a crash and even worse, a fatal crash.
