Speed Sensitive Texting Block (With Auto Response)

A split second distraction can cost you your life.
Most people know that it's unsafe to text while driving, but they don't realize it's just as unsafe to receive a text while driving as it is to send one. Regardless of how important a text may be, it's not worth risking your life for.
Resisting the urge to send text messages is pretty easy, but we don't have much choice about when a message comes in because most of the time the sender has no idea you are driving.
Although most smartphones have a Do Not Disturb option, very few people take the time to turn it on when they get in a car, especially since this would also block incoming calls. What SmartPhones need is a way to automatically block inbound texts whenever the phone is moving.
The key here is to turn off the alert so it doesn't distract you while you drive. The messages can still be visible on the display, so that if and when you pull over, or stop at a light, you can read it then.
It's just as important to send an auto-response to the sender, so they know you are driving and wait for you before they send additional distracting messages.
