Drive Safe.ly is a free mobile application that will read aloud your text (SMS) messages and e-mails in real time. You can even set up an auto-responder with something like, “Hey, I’m driving. I’ll call you later,” and let your friends know how truly safe (and cool) you are because they’ll know you are NOT texting and driving.
