In a world where common sense isn't, and selfish lack of decency and concern for the safety of others prevails; using this simple helpful tool shines light on what is good and right social behaviour. Distraction = inattention = split second consequences that are irreversible. Our precious Phones WILL and HAVE killed many this way. Pls think and care.

I think this app is great idea, but, my daughter just got her learners 3 days ago & this app would be fantastic for her to have on her phone, but as she has an iPhone it is not available to her. Is this app going to be available for iPhone users anytime soon? Also tried the app for the first time today. For receiving a text it worked fine, but when a phone call came through the phone still rang. Will try again on our next trip out & will update review & stars if these issues are resolved

Need to be able to select disable both voice and text. OR just text. Most vehicles have hands free built in for a reason. The under 20 k's for 10 minutes does not work in peak traffic periods. If you have sound notification for text then why disable. Wait till safe to park and answer. If in hands free cradle text displayed on screen anyhow, so if not urgent can reply later. Until they change law to being illegal to use phone at all in car this is useless. Is this a pre-warning to such a legislation change?

App is good.. Really does save life.. I'm always looking at my phone when I get a text tho I don't want to.. This app really has help me focus on the road.. The only problem with this app is that you still get calls coming when you are driving..

Texting and calling can now wait. But what software engineers don't realise is that when it deactivates to 20 Km/hr and have a over 1000 kg of metal you will just hit as hard against a solid object.

This app needs the auto responce to be personalised. Other apps around do this. Its pointless have an app with a stand msg thought up by a public servant. Who hasnt worked a day as an owner/operator in their life.

About this app

Stops Messages. Saves Lives.
Road Mode is an app from VicRoads that allows you to drive without distraction, silencing your incoming calls and text messages while you are on the road. Those calling or texting you will receive an automated text response to let them know you are driving and can’t answer. When you arrive at your destination, Road Mode will provide a summary of the calls and messages you received during your trip.

For more information about road safety visit vicroads.vic.gov.au

Important!
**If you are using Handcent SMS or GO SMS, you need to uncheck the "Disable other message notification" setting for the auto-reply feature to work.

**Road Mode does not silence Google’s Text-To-Speech (TTS) service and associated apps which use this service. This will include:

• If you are using Task Killer or App Killer, please exclude Road Mode to ensure it works properly.

• If enabled, Road Mode sends an SMS automatically to incoming SMS messages and phone calls from a mobile. Message and data rates may apply to each SMS message sent or received as provided in your wireless service rate plan.
