CellCoachTM detects cell phone signals in a radius of approximately 5 feet from its mounting location, eliminating the chance of a false signal from a different driver’s car. The alert is similar to safety alerts given to pilots of aircraft. The CellCoachTM alert is annoying, not distracting. Driver distraction is caused by the driver taking their eyes off of the road or thinking about things other than driving... major causes are cell phone calls and texting.

Just like the important safety alerts that pilots receive in an airplane’s cockpit, the alert that the CellCoachTM emits is a call-to-action, not a distraction. Safety alerts make the operator of any vehicle instantly pay attention to their behavior and the condition of the vehicle to make sure that everything is OK. The CellCoachTM will help to make your teenage driver more alert and mindful of driving without using their cell phone. Your teen driver will be more able to pilot their car safely through congested traffic in your neighborhood.

|
|
Your teenage driver already responds to alerts that indicate the need to put on a seat belt, and close a door or a trunk/hatch... now they can get used to driving with their cell phone turned off while they drive!
As the responsible parent of a teenage driver, you need to act now to protect your child. The driving distraction caused by cell phones is a very real threat to your family’s safety. Stay on top of the situation, keep reminding them how to drive more safely, and install a CellCoachTM. Their safety is in your hands.

View this special PSA (public service announcement) from CBS anchorwoman, Katie Couric, to see how serious the problem of teenagers driving with cell phones actually is. The CellCoachTM emits an annoying in-car alert when your teenage driver uses their cell phone for texting or calls when they drive.

Don’t let your teen become the next headline. Do something about it NOW. Teenagers don’t have the same driving skills as full grown adults... they’re still learning how to react to dangers on the road. Throw cell phones into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster. Attorneys have estimated that 9 out of 10 lawsuits relating to teen driving accidents involve cell phone use. You can reduce the chances of this from happening to your family.

Thanks to Donny Deutsch and his staff for having us on ‘The Big Idea’ show! Donny and his panel of experts gave marketing advice to the inventor of the CellCoachTM. It was quite a ‘whirlwind’ experience! We flew out on January 2nd, 2008, then taped in-studio and flew home on January 3rd. We didn’t know until our day was almost done that it was going to air that night! It aired successfully and we’ve established excellent relationships with new dealers. Our interview aired as part of the ‘Minutes to Millions’ segment. We’ve received over 50,000 website hits directly related to the show. Donny Deutsch loves our product and thinks that it will help save lives. What a gracious host and show producers... thank you Donny, Scott, Melanie, Heather and Mark!

California – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a new bill into law that makes it illegal for anyone aged 16 or 17 to use a cell phone, pager, laptop, or handheld computer while driving a vehicle. The law goes into effect July 1, 2008, the same day that a ban on non-hands-free cell phone use take effect. Studies have shown that 14% of all fatal motor accidents are caused by teen drivers, and that car crashes are the leading cause of death for people aged 16-19. Cell phones have been shown to be the biggest distraction to teenage drivers.

Governor Schwarzenegger said, “The simple fact is that teenage drivers are more easily distracted. We want to eliminate any extra distractions so they can focus on paying attention to the road and being good drivers. We just don’t want to say ‘Hasta la vista, baby’ to young drivers anymore.” - Many other states have similar laws.

The CellCoachTM is 100% legal. Cell phone jammers or blockers are illegal! Jammers (blockers, blasters) are illegal in the United States because they interfere with radio frequencies. It is illegal to own or operate a cell phone jammer and can bring jail time and a $11,000 fine. Don’t risk it! Use the CellCoachTM to teach your teen to drive more safely.

The CellCoachTM activates when your teenager’s cell phone receives or sends a call or text message in a car that is properly outfitted with a permanently installed CellCoachTM. The device emits an audible beep that stays on until the cell phone’s activity ceases or it is turned off. The in-car alert emitted by CellCoachTM is quite annoying!
The system is only active when your teenager’s car is turned on. If they have an emergency they can still use their cell phone while driving. When their car is turned off the CellCoachTM deterrent is also off. To facilitate emergency calls while driving, there are momentary pauses during the alert.
The CellCoachTM deterrent trains your teenager to turn their cell phone off prior to driving... this keeps them from having to listen to the obnoxious alert that they would hear if they received or made a call or text message while driving.
No teenager wants to have to listen to “BEEEEEEEEEEEP!” the entire time that they’re talking or texting with their cell phone.

The CellCoachTM deterrent can be easily installed under the dashboard of any vehicle. A simple connection to the vehicle’s electrical system is all it takes. When connected to the ignition’s power supply, the deterrent will be off when the vehicle is off. The CellCoachTM includes a keyed on/off switch so that parents are able to turn the system off. Simple installation instructions are included.
Parents are the best source of training for a teenage driver, but they don’t always adhere to it when they are on their own. Reinforce the good training that you’ve already done with the CellCoachTM deterrent.
