Disable systems for portable computing devices operated by drivers. The disable mechanisms restrict the ability of a portable computing device to perform certain functions, such as texting, emailing, surfing internet, taking photos by operators and drivers of motor vehicles in motion. The disable mechanism is implemented combining several electro-magnetic technologies residing in On-board diagnostics (OBD) computer system and portable computing device considering various situations an operator of a vehicle can be in. In one embodiment, a portable computing device can provide a disable mechanism with the use of a signal beacon in the vehicle by using a motion analyzer, a beacon signal receiver, a finger print analyzer and a disable mechanism. In other embodiments, the portable computing device can provide a disable mechanism without modifications or additions to the vehicle with the use of signals transmitted by the engine of the vehicle or electronic key, a motion analyzer, a finger print analyzer and a disable mechanism when a driver is engaged with the vehicle.
