Engineered and made in the USA.

CellCoach^TM was invented by a commissioner of the Small Business Commission in Tucson, Arizona.

The following story about 5 teenage cheerleaders lost to a tragic cell phone related accident motivated the creation of the CellCoach^TM deterrent. It is our goal to do everything that we can to prevent this kind of thing from happening again...

The scenes from the story of the 5 talented teenage girls who instantly lost their lives in a tragic vehicle accident related to cell phone distraction... cheerleaders just 6 days after graduating from high school kept replaying on the Today Show. Everyone kept saying that there was nothing that could be done to prevent teen cell phone use while driving... except to pass laws.

Immediately after the story aired, my fiancee turned to me and said, “Somebody has to do something to put a stop to this problem!” As a product designer I knew that I had to try to figure out a way to come up with a solution.

CellCoach^TM is the answer that I came up with... a cell phone deterrent specifically designed to reduce the use of cell phones by teenagers while they drive. It works whether teens make or receive calls or text messages.

The following story about the girls motivated me to protect my two young step-children that are growing up too fast, already texting on cell phones. -CellCoach^TM Inventor

Driver error, speed, driver inexperience and distractions such as cell phone use contributed to the June 26 collision that claimed the lives of five Perinton teens that attented Fairport High School.

Three minutes before the fatal crash, a phone call and text messages were sent and received from the cell phone of Bailey Goodman, the driver of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer that veered into the path of an oncoming semi-truck and trailer on Route 5 and 20 in East Bloomfield, according to Ontario County Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff Philip C. Povero said Friday that he could not be sure that Goodman was using the phone to send or receive the text messages. Sheriff investigator Matthew McDonald said Goodman had been talking on the phone to a friend that was driving the car following her to her family's cabin on Keuka Lake.

Bailey Goodman, 17, known to friends as Bails, was driving with her junior driver's license prohibiting her from being on the road past 9 p.m. She lost control of her S.U.V. after passing a car near the intersection of Route 64 after 10 p.m. She and her four passengers, Hannah Congdon, 18, Meredith McClure, 17, Sara Monnat, 18, and Katherine Shirley, 18, died (most likely instantly) from injuries in the collision, not from the fire that immediately followed the impact.

Investigators said the driver of the semi-truck and trailer and of the car Goodman passed made attempts to prevent the accident.

Michael Short, 21, was driving the Mercury Sable that Bailey Goodman passed. He spotted the top part of an oncoming truck over the hill as Bailey Goodman's S.U.V. passed him on the two lane road. To give time and space for Bailey to get back into her lane, Michael Short slowed and moved over to the right part of his lane.

Bailey Goodman passed Short's car, then turned quickly back into the semi-truck and trailer's path. She was driving at 60 mph, five miles over the speed limit when she swerved.

Semi-truck and trailer driver David M. Laverty, 50, hit the brakes and pulled his truck to the right in an attempt to avoid the crash.

Laverty's truck left 120 feet of skid marks prior to the collision. Laverty was traveling the speed limit when he braked, but investigators could not determine how much he had slowed before the front of his truck slammed into the passenger side of the S.U.V.

The inertia of the truck forced both vehicles to the direction that the truck was traveling more than 130 feet before stopping.

Spilled fuel from the semi-truck and trailer's ruptured fuel lines ignited. Flames engulfed the vehicles. Laverty escaped unharmed and tried to assist the teenage occupants of the S.U.V., but he was prevented from rescue by the flames.

The investigation ruled out mechanical failure, weather, road conditions and alcohol use as contributing factors. Povero said he does not expect that toxicology tests will show any presence of drugs.

The teenage girls, who had graduated from Fairport High School just five days before their deaths, were going to Bailey Goodman’s family cabin. Four classmates of the victims, who had been following Bailey Goodman’s S.U.V., witnessed the crash.

The driver of the second car, Riley Hall, 18, had a brief cell phone conversation with Bailey Goodman at 10:04 p.m. It was not known what the young women discussed.

At 10:05 p.m., Bailey Goodman's phone (the S.U.V. driver’s phone) was used to send a text message to a friend. A response to the message was received at 10:06 p.m.

After the accident, the first call to 911 came at 10:07 p.m. from Elizabeth Corsaro, 17, of Bloomfield, a passenger in Short's vehicle.

The investigation details provided some closure, but no comfort to the families and friends of the teens.

"To me, it was just an accident involving a group of girls who were having wholesome fun," said Ray McClure, father of Meredith McClure.
