Impulse Over Restraint Warrants Restrictive Mobile Access While Driving?

Do you find yourself in the category of impulsively, almost involuntarily, picking up your mobile when an incoming call shocks you out of your existing focus? Even when you're driving? If you're that obsessive, here's the application for you; but it's gonna cost ya. According to TechDirt, the application senses you're driving, through movement, and routes the call directly to voicemail.

What TechDirt also picks apart is the fact that the app could be flawed in that in the same proverbial moving car you could merely be a passenger, or you could be on a bus. More importantly, why not just "not pick up the phone?" Obviously they've never experience compulsive behaviors ;) But honestly, if you're that obsessive, would you be willing to pay for the solution? Why not just turn your phone off?

Worth it? Chime in.
