Various embodiments of an apparatus and a method prevent a dangerous user behavior with a mobile communication device by embedding RFID tags in a vehicle's interior space and by interrogating those embedded RFID tags with an integrated RFID tag reader in the mobile communication device. In one embodiment of the invention, the vehicle's interior space is divided into multiple “zones,” at least one of which is defined as a “driving lock” zone. A vehicle interior zone is identifiable with an embedded RFID tag with a particular tag readable range, which only extends to the boundary of that particular zone. Therefore, a mobile communication device with an integrated RFID tag reader can recognize which zone the mobile communication device is currently in by accessing an RFID tag embedded nearby, and then proceed to enable the driving lock on the mobile communication device, if necessary.
