Abstract

System and method for generating notifications when a person is in a driving state, in a non-driving state, and optionally a destination arrival notification so that interested parties, such as family members, friends and/or co-workers, can make informed and proactive decisions to not call or text the person while driving is described. With push notifications, interested parties can thus make informed decisions and purposely delay making a phone call or texting a driver until after they have arrived at their destination and are no longer driving. As a result, drivers are not needlessly distracted, significantly improving road safety.
