A vehicle immobilizer (302) for use in reducing driver distractions caused by the driver's use of a personal mobile communications device (10) whilst driving. The immobilizer includes a radio (304) and antenna (310), a communications device (10), a control circuit (306) and a microprocessor (308). The radio and antenna are configured to operatively connect the immobilizer with the personal mobile communications device using a peer-to-peer communications standard. The control circuit is configured to disable an ignition system of the vehicle. The microprocessor is configured to activate the control circuit to disable the ignition system after receiving an indication through the radio that the personal mobile communications device is not in a mode suitable for undistracted driving, such as a hands-free mode or an airplane mode. |
