Press Release Body = Safe Driving is here to stay By Marlon Muņoz
Q: -How many times have we listened to our radio or read the newspaper about the fatal car accident on major highways or local roads? A: -Too many!
Around September 2005 I came up with an idea that could help drivers prevent traffic accidents. A year later, lots of sleepless nights and a loan from my retirement account, I turned my idea into a reality with the help of Guy Marsden, an electronic engineer from Maine. He was able to transform my idea into a useful safe driving tool. The invention is called The Co-Pilot, a device that is hardwired in a vehicle\'s power source and when the engine is started, a pleasant voice gives you a greeting followed by sequential safety messages. Sort of annoying some might say, but think about it. Imagine your teenager getting their first car and going out for the night, then you get a phone call at 9:45 pm on a Saturday notifying you that your child has been in an accident. At best, your child is fine... at worst, well, now you have a very large bill to pay. Now think of this, what if your child had gone out that night with The Co-Pilot installed in the vehicle, reminding him or her not to tailgate, not to use the cell phone while driving, make a complete stop at a stop sign, or maybe checking for clearance when backing up or changing lanes. There\'s no doubt that the odds are in favor of your child not getting into a preventable accident. [Don\'t worry The Co-Pilot doesn\'t have an ON/OFF button]- So is it just for teens, of course not. It\'s also intended for the thirty something in a rush to work, drinking coffee, text messaging their buddy - all of this while doing 80 miles per hour on the highway. The important thing to remember is that when we are on the road, every second counts. The Co-Pilot gives us that extra second to think. Life is too precious for us not to take that extra second and think about what we are doing while driving. One thing is for sure; my daughter will be getting one of these when she\'s ready to take to the road.
