Road Safe Driver: This One’s For The Road!

As per a report published on NHTSA, 10 percent of fatal crashes were reported as distraction-affected crashes!  Those were deaths that could have been avoided.

Admittedly, our phones are big source of distraction while driving, but it is a phone app that can actually double up as your road safety assistant.

The  Driving Control app has a number of features that encourage safety among drivers on the road and is available for Android-based smartphones as well as BlackBerry devices. Here’s how the app ensures that users remain safe on the roads: 

Prevent you from using the phone during driving: A number of accidents that occur on the road happen when drivers are using their phones to make calls, or even worse, send SMS’s. The app ensures that the phone gets locked after a minimum driving speed and that the phone cannot be used during driving. It doesn’t just keep the driver safe, but also ensures that they are not unnecessarily stopped and fined by the traffic cops. The app can also send out an automated SMS reply to any incoming calls the users receives while driving. 

Set allowable speed limit for the drive: Users can set a maximum permissible speed limit using the app. As soon as the driver exceeds this set limit, the app can automatically send out an alert to a configured phone number. This feature lets drivers discipline themselves better to adhere to speed limits and drive responsibly. 

Use when driving or being driven: The app can be used in two modes – a driver mode for those users who drive themselves and a non-driver or public transport mode for users who ride as passengers in vehicles. The app will make the phone’s LED blink in red whenever the vehicle exceeds the set speed limit.

The Uses Of The App

The Driving Control app has many benefits – not only does the app ensure that users drive better and safer on the roads, but can also be used to monitor the performance of hired drivers on how well they can adhere to the rules. 

In addition, the app is an extremely useful tool for schools and parents to monitor if the school buses are following traffic rules and transporting students safely. 

It starts automatically when the user enters a vehicle and one can sign in using passwords to configure the various functions of this app. Users can turn on the SMS alert option in case they wish to notify someone else whenever the speed limit is exceeded or can keep this option off when they are driving themselves and wish to monitor their driving abilities. 

It is an extremely handy app for users who spend a lot of their time commuting on the road. Whether they drive themselves or depend on public transport, Driving Control will help them stay safe on the roads.
