PhoneGuard, Inc., a subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings,
Inc. (OTCQB: OPMG) (PINKSHEETS: OPMG) and a provider of mobile
applications, today announces that Chairman, Keith St. Clair,
joined dozens of executives from government agencies, major
corporations and non-profit agencies from across the country to
participate in the National Organizations for Youth Safety's (NOYS)
2011 National Teen Distracted Driving Summit. The event, which was
sponsored by AT&T and the Allstate Insurance Foundation,
included presentations from key national leaders from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of
Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Mr.
St. Clair participated on a panel hosted by Celeste McCray of the
Federal Communications Commission. Personal messages to the summit
were delivered via video from two-time Grammy nominated
singer/songwriter Justin Bieber and from Secretary of
Transportation, Ray LaHood, both of whom thanked those in
attendance.
"The dangers of distracted driving are an issue for all of us,
but particularly for younger drivers," commented Mr. St. Clair.
"While 20% of all injury crashes involve reports of distracted
driving, the age group with the greatest portion of distracted
drivers is the under 20 age group. It is a saddening statistic, but
16% of all fatal crashes involving drivers under 20 years old were
reported to be related to distracted driving. One of our major
goals of PhoneGuard is to reverse these disturbing statistics
through the use of our products. The National Distracted Teen
Driving Summit is an important event as it is attended by not only
government policymakers, but also by leading executives from the
private sector. Working together we can do something about this
problem and this message clearly permeated this summit."
The recently announced PhoneGuard product offerings position the
Company at the intersection of safety and connectivity by disabling
texting, emailing and keyboard functions of a mobile phone while in
a vehicle moving faster than 10 miles per hour, empowering drivers
to take responsibility for personal security and safe driving,
while providing a host of additional safety and connectivity
related benefits.
Mr. St. Clair continued, "We welcome the efforts of the National
Organizations for Youth Safety and all of the attendees at this
summit. This is a very important topic and one we take very
seriously at PhoneGuard. We are highly committed to advancing this
cause through our continued product development and our ongoing
efforts to support the Remember Alex Brown Foundation, organized by
the family of teenager Alex Brown who tragically lost her life
because of texting and driving."
The new PhoneGuard application targets teens that are looking to
stay safe while always ensuring they stay connected to their
friends and family. The application includes Text
Block, Custom Auto-Reply, Admin Override and Panic Button. PhoneGuard Family enables parents to play
an active role in their family's safety by protecting them on and
off the road with features such as Text Block,
Custom Auto-Reply, Admin Override, Panic Button, Speed Control,
Admin Control, Request Permission and Remember Passcode. PhoneGuard Family Pro includes the
same features as PhoneGuard Family, plus Web
Portal, Geo-Fencing, Custom Timeout and Real-Time Tracking/Locator function, which uses GPS to
locate a missing phone in real time.
