We all know texting while driving or walking could easily get you into accidents. With smartphones nowadays that use touchscreens, you will need more attention to the phone and less on the road ahead. But wait, there’s an app for that too — Road SMS.

Saw this Android app from the Samsung App Store that came pre-installed in the Galaxy S i9000.

The app uses the built-in camera to project an image of what’s in front of you and put it as a background on the screen while you are texting. That way, you’d be able to see what’s coming up even if you’re just focused on your phone typing away a text message.

I’m not sure if people would really use Road SMS regularly but I think it might come in handy someday.
