Abstract
A system for reducing traffic accidents caused by distraction from a mobile telecom device. The system detects when the device is near a driver's seat of a moving vehicle. When the network receives a call from a caller directed to a called person associated with the mobile telecom device, the system plays a message to the caller stating that the called person is driving and asking whether the call is important enough to put through. If the caller provides an affirmative response, the system puts the call through to the telecom device, and if the caller provides a negative response or no response, the system does not put the call through.
