Key 2 Safe Driving Turns Off Your Phone While You Drive
Text messaging or talking on your cell phone while driving is a nasty habit, dangerous and illegal. It's hard to break habits sometimes though, but you don't have to rely on willpower alone.
The service Key 2 Safe Driving stops you from even being able to talk or text while driving.
iDialUDrive App Helps You Stay Handsfree
With California's Hands Free Law in full effect, I'm always looking for creative ways to help me stay handsfree so I can keep my eyes on the road. Even those two or three seconds you spend navigating your way to your contacts list to dial a number are a few seconds too long to spend looking down.

Would You Want to Learn How to Drive on Your Nintendo DS?
I'm not one to underestimate the power of a Nintendo DS Lite, but to use one to teach you how to drive — you've got to be kidding me! DreamCatcher Games and JoWooD Productions are developing Drivers Ed Portable — a game for the DS. Don't worry, it won't do what I initially thought and freaked out about, which was taking students through driving steps while actually driving.
Parking Meter Alarm: Love It or Leave It?
For all my geeks who tool around in their own car (your girl geeksugar is a public-transportation dependent) and live in a city, this might be the perfect gadget. You set this Parking Meter Alarm when you park your car and it counts down the time you've put money in the meter for — and it'll beep at five-minute intervals when it's about to run out, so you can be ticket free.
It even holds a stack of quarters for the meter!
Do You Use Your Cell During Your Commute?
If you're like me and use your commute time to keep in touch with friends and family members you may want to rethink your habit.

Do You Use Your Cell During Your Commute?
Say Good-Bye To Cell Phone Driving
Gabbing away on your cell phone while driving can be really dangerous, especially when you're in a busy city or driving at high speeds. I happen to have grown up in a rural area, where there are hardly any cars on the road and everyone drives ridiculously slow, I think I tricked myself into thinking it's okay to drive and talk. The Raw Feed has reported that Highway Safety and Technology has created an automated detection system that will reveal who is talking on their cell phones while driving.

Steampunk 4GB Flash Drive: Love It or Leave It?
I was totally up on the steampunk craze, and although I would never be able to afford this $3,000 (yes, that's three zeros) 4GB Steampunk Flash Drive, I can appreciate its workmanship.

I totally understand the sentiment, Will.

Heal Your PC From Viruses With the Dr. Hard Drive Bag
I can give you multiple reasons why I love this concept piece I found on Coroflot. Not only is this hanging hard drive packed with virus-scanning software to help you track down any bugs that may have attacked your computer, but it can also recover any corrupted files, so it's actually a useful piece of equipment.
Plus, it's kinda cute in a totally out-of-left-field kind of way, and it flashes and glows in the dark while it's doing its thing.
