Abstract
A computer system determines whether a location of a computing device corresponds to a vehicle that is in motion. In response to determining that the location of the computing device corresponds to the vehicle that is in motion, and determining that the location of the computing device corresponds to an area in the vehicle that is associated with a driver of the vehicle, the computer system imposes one or more restrictions on a usage of the computing device.
