It will help protect both you and other drivers on the road. VeloCT will automatically detect when a person is driving via their Android phone's GPS. The GPS will determine the speed of the user and automatically respond to texts if the driver is moving faster than the user-set speed. For example, the driver can set his phone with his own specific message to auto-reply to all incoming texts if he traveling greater than 25 miles per hour.The world has moved into a completely technological state where a constant flow of information is not only needed but also a part of our daily lives.

A driver using a cell phone while simultaneously driving has the delayed reaction equivalent to a blood alcohol concentration of .08. This tool will allow people to set and forget.
