Check out the link & the concept. Personally I think this is a great idea. Good on them for thinking outside the square...
In short - Road safety initiative. phone app that sets phone into a 'roadsafe' mode whilst driving, and rewards safe driving behaviours.

Only available in the Hunter region?

Are you people worse drivers than the rest of us or just more privileged

Hmmm now let me think for a second???

I "KNOW" I left that "BAN" button around here somewhere :p lol

j/k - I am glad that there are those out there putting some positive effort into road safety improvements(and whilst this is a trial only, and others are out there doing similar) I think it worth giving credit where credit is due. I am sure that we are all in agreeance that there are those out there that have the "punitive" education brigade have had a rather decent shake of it - who's to say this will be any less successful?

Digging way, way back into my fading memory bank I think the Vic Police did something similar a long time ago.

They were pulling people up and giving them gold stars (or something) for good driving behaviour. As I wasn't living in Vic at the time I don't know what happened to that scheme.
