It is a device with a place for inserting a mobile, and it is fixed on the car dashboard or handle of a two-wheeler. The vehicle moves forward only if the mobile is inserted into this device.[/size] [size=4]In other words, the driver can't talk on the phone while driving.[/size] [size=4]Her next idea is to have personalised doorbell ringtones so you know who is at the door beforehand. The doorbell has unique codes assigned to different individuals. So when a guest presses their code, the doorbell rings with a specific sound.[/size] [/size][/font][/color] [img]http://im.rediff.com/getahead/2012/nov/23ignite6.jpg[/img]
