ZoomSafer Selected as Newest AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah ‘Show Your Card & Save’ Alliance Member

RESTON, Va.--ZoomSafer, the leading provider of smartphone software to help prevent distracted driving, today announced a “Show Your Card & Save�?? alliance with AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah (AAA NCNU) whereby members can purchase ZoomSafer software at a significant discount directly from the ZoomSafer website.

“Through relationships with companies such as ZoomSafer, we hope to provide tools to our members to help make the roads safer for everyone.”

Texting and emailing while driving is now illegal in 30 states and the District of Columbia. Both California and Utah have banned all motorists from texting and emailing while driving, and California additionally requires motorists use hands-free devices for phone calls at all times.

When driving, ZoomSafer locks smartphones’ keypads and screens and suppresses all alerts, eliminating the dangerous temptation to text or email behind the wheel. The software also automatically responds to incoming messages on drivers’ behalf with customized messages to let others know they are driving safely and will get back to them when they are done. 911 calls can still be placed when ZoomSafer is engaged.

"People know that it’s irresponsible and reckless, and yet they find it difficult to resist the powerful temptation to text while driving,�?? said Matt Howard, CEO of ZoomSafer. “We’ve created a simple and inexpensive software application to prevent distracted driving and we’re proud to offer it as part of the AAA Show Your Card & Save program.�??

“AAA NCNU has been a leader and advocate for traffic safety since it was founded more than 100 years ago,�?? said Stephen Sumner, senior alliances manager of AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah. “Through relationships with companies such as ZoomSafer, we hope to provide tools to our members to help make the roads safer for everyone.�??
