Texting and driving

Is there an app that will text back to say you are driving? I know sprint has one, but I have Verizon. I found one that used GPS to tell you were moving, but it's ratings were poor. State farm has one, but you have to have that insurance. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
 
Just use Google voice......say send text to whoever and the message if you use the widget all you have to do is hit the mic on the widget the rest is hands free.
 
I use Tasker myself.

Profile
Event: Received Text; Sender: (I selected various people in my contacts list since I don't want it texting back to just anything else I might receive a text message from)
State: Bluetooth Connected; Name: Car HandsFree

Task
Send SMS: Number: %SMSRF, Message: I am currently in my car driving and I will respond later.

So, Tasker only does this when I'm connected to my Car's HandsFree system. AND, I also setup Tasker to read the text message outload only when I'm connected to my CAR HandsFree system.

Task: Say: You just recieved a text message from %SMSRN. The message reads, %SMSRB.

My sister was riding with me one day and was very impressed. Tasker is just so powerful.
