Description of safety strategy:
Unique service to monitor teen drivers, providing individually numbered Safety Stickers that read, "How's my Teen Driving?" with a toll free telephone number--1-877-TAKE KEYS. This number is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by one of our professional operators. The operators answer calls from anywhere in the USA. Then, all infractions reported to us are reported to the parent or guardian. We feel this is a vital service in that the National Safety Council reports 50% of all teens are in an accident during their teen years either by carelessness or peer pressure. This Safety Sticker affixed to their car makes the teen stop and think twice before speeding. Remember, we are the best drivers in the world when there is a policeman watching us. This is in essence the same thing! Now, thousands of eyes will be watching your son or daughter. Mothers have told me, "I'd rather get a few calls each week than 1 telling me to come down to the morgue to identify my son, he's been in a terrible accident and is dead."
We want this to be a Nation-wide program for parents to help save their teenagers and keep them safe.
If anyone has any interest, e-mail me. Thank You.
