Inventor Combats Bad Teen Driving Habits


KVOA.com:

Does it bother you when you see a teenager driving and either talking on their cell phone or texting? Well, one Tucson man has come up with something that will more than likely make them stop.

Lydia Carlson, 16, is like most teenage girls; she drives and has a cell phone. “My dad doesn’t like me texting and driving. I don’t like to text that much when I drive but I do sometimes, yeah.”

And it is dangerous. That’s why Jeff bales invented the Cell Coach. “I saw a national news story about the five teenage cheerleaders that died in a tragic cell phone related accident,” Jeff said. “A light bulb went off in my head right then and there.”

A product designer by trade, he created it in just a couple weeks. “You can drive around with a cell phone on. If a call comes in, it will emit radio frequencies and will trigger this warning,” he said.

Lydia volunteered to use the device while she drove and within seconds of receiving a phone call and attempting to send a text message, the alert rang out she told her mother over the phone, “I don’t want to talk to you any longer because it’s very loud and I cannot hear you.” She said, “If I was on the phone I would definitely stop because it’s really loud and it kind of hurts my ears.”

The Cell Coach sets off a 90 decibel alert. It even works outside your vehicle at a five foot range.
