1. A method comprising:
- initiating a communication session between a first mobile device and a second mobile device;
determining a characteristic of travel of the first mobile device and an input for the session between the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
generating, by a processor, a warning signal based on the determined characteristic of travel of the first mobile device during the communication session; and
transmitting the warning signal, as part of the communication session, from the first mobile device to the second mobile device wherein the warning signal is audio that indicates that a user of the first mobile device may be operating a motor vehicle.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to a method and system for presenting a transit indicator. For example, to reduce distraction, a person in communication with a mobile device user operating a vehicle is warned. A warning signal is generated when a determined speed of travel of a mobile device is greater than a predetermined threshold speed of travel and the mobile device is in communication with a communication device. The mobile device transmits the generated warning signal to the communication device to indicate to a user of the communication device that a user of the mobile device may be operating a vehicle.
