you did not comprehend how this system will work. the key is attached to the teen's cellphone. they have to detach the key from the phone to put into the vehicle. that key will lock the cellphone out except for the emergency numbers. this will not affect any other cellphone w/in the vehicle. although, that could present another problem if that teen has other teens riding in the car also. reason, that teen driver might want to talk w/the same person as the other folks. instead of that person holding onto it and putting it on speakerphone, the driver might want to put it into his/her hands to talk. again, back to cellphone in use while driving. so, it's going to take a talk from the parents to install rules and hopefully enforce them when broken. also, the teen w/common sense can understand the parents views and realize what can happen.

Remember, we can't be around our children 24/7. if we have installed good values for our kids, they might follow our lead and examples. remind your teenager, that driving is a priviledge and not a right. afterall, not only can you the parent take that license but so can the state, if need be.
