Called Sprint Drive First, the app locks the phone when the car is moving over 10 mph and it is being marketed to parents of teenagers. When using the application, calls will go automatically to voice mail. Alerts for email or texts will be silenced when activated, and an automated, customizable message will be sent as a response. If the app no longer detects the car is moving, the cell phone will resume functionality. To allow for traffic delays, it won’t unlock the phone unless the vehicle is idle for a few minutes.
The device can be unlocked with Exit and 911 buttons, which can override the app, but parents can choose to be notified when this occurs. Parents can also choose up to five numbers that can ring through the locked phone and three apps that remain usable when the car is in motion, such as navigation or music.

Sounds like a great app, as long as teens don't uninstall the app from the phone. Teens are crafty and tech savvy these days...
