it's more of a pain to enter an unlock code so that you can text, read text messages, answer text messages all while operating a running vehicle. And since you're not moving when parked or out of the car there would be no code to enter. This would also be great for people who try to text at stoplights, don't quiet finish the text but continue texting when the light turns green. I see this all the time.
I'm not sure what country this took place in but they have the right idea:

But as long as text-blocking while moving remains an app thing it will never work. Protecting the lives of others is not something the majority of text-addicted drivers have any real interest in if it means having to wait until they're out of the car.
This is a public safety issue, people are dying or losing their legs. You can't use a phone a plane something there's almost no evidence of it causing harm, yet you're allowed to text in a moving car? Huh??
