Let’s get it out of the way—texting and driving is bad.
So bad, in fact, that a new startup is encouraging those on the road around you to pick up their phones, assuming they’re a passenger, and submit a short video clip of your wrongdoings to it for cash.
Text to Ticket is a newer startup based out of San Francisco, California. It was formed when a group of friends were crossing the street and were nearly hit by a car who was distracted by their phone and nearly ended their life.
After several days of debate, the group decided to build a platform to help protect other individuals from cars on the road
Its goal is to simply cut down on tasks that constitute “distracted driving”, mainly (but definitely not limited to) texting while driving, by the use of a new mobile app that earns everyone involved—except for the distracted driver—a little bit of cash.
