DriveRite app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: FiveIron Software, LLC
First release : 15 Jun 2014

DriveRite is the must-have app for the parents of teen drivers that helps you teach your child to be safe and text-free behind the wheel. DriveRite monitors your teen’s cell-phone use when they’re driving, and alerts you if they’re driving distracted.
IMPORTANT: If you test the app out and it doesnt generate a ticket, it is likely because there is a test for movement too -- this is done to allow quick checks when the vehicle isnt moving. A future release will contain an option to not allow even this type of usage.
Instead of preventing cell-phone use, DriveRite notifies you and issues the driver a ‘ticket’ if they use their phone during a trip. A daily report card logs all trips and any violations – information you can use to keep your teen accountable and teach them to become a better, safer driver.
Driving while distracted can be deadly. 77% of young drivers are confident they can safely text and drive, yet in 2011, 23% of all car crashes involved cell phone use. And a crash is 23 times more likely when texting.
DriveRite gives you a simple, structured way of encouraging your new driver to make safe choices -- and to avoid becoming a statistic.
