Text Messages While You Drive
Ford is installing a new feature in its vehicles that can read text messages out loud. The measures, says Ford, is intended to reduce texting while driving.
The software uses a Bluetooth connection and syncs with the phones and alerts users when they receive text messages. It reads the messages out loud and allows users to respond.
In view of studies which find that texting while driving increases the risk of getting into an accident by up to 23 times, I have doubts that this measure will improve traffic safety.

FAQs
Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks
- Does it matter that I didn't see the doctor right after my car accident?
- Do I have to use my own health insurance for my auto accident injuries? I've been injury in a motor vehicle accident and my doctor has referred me for therapy. I have private health coverage through work and I have Accident Benefits Coverage on my auto policy. My auto insurer is telling me I have to use my own private health coverage to pay for therapy costs prior to accessing my Accident Benefits Coverage. Why?
- I was injured in a car accident and my insurance company is telling me I have to use my personal insurance (e.g. Desjardins, Blue Cross, Manulife) to pay for my massage therapy, physiotherapy and prescription drugs before I can use either the accident benefit coverage (Section B) on my automobile policy, or the insurance of the guy who hit me. Is this right?
