Self Controlled Car Speed Restrictor Printer Friendly Version
The "NO-SPEEDY CD" device replaces your regular in-car CD player. But the "NO-SPEEDY CD" player is driven by a series of belts, chains and sprockets from the front wheels of your vehicle.
Now go and buy your favourite CDs in various speed formats, and pop in the appropriate format dependant on the speed restrictions youre driving within.
Hey presto, youre in a built up area and you've got your 30mph version of Steps playing. If you start to go too fast, they sound dreadful and you slow down to a more suitable speed.
Reward: A cheese and pickle sandwich. .... and some crisps.

Safe Driving for Everybody Printer Friendly Version
I have a idea we can all benefit from. I know a lot of you speed demons out there will not agree with me, but I also know a lot of parents and concerned drivers will.
I think there should be a computer-based GPS installed on every new car which will act like a stutter box or a restrictor. When you crank your car, the box turns on and connects with a satellite, tracking your GPS location. Then, the satellite sends information back to the box letting it know the speed limit for the road you are currently on. Now that the car knows what the speed limit is, it won't allow you to accelerate over that speed. In case of emergency, the box will deactivate if you turn on your emergency lights, however it will also signal police and rescue dispatch that there is a speeding car with your car type and color, heading north, east, south, west or whatever direction you are heading, the road you are traveling on, and how much over the speed limit you are driving.
Reward: Just to be recognized for the safety of others. I would also want the first car with these features, as a gift of gratitude.

Two-Part Car Horns / Bicycle bells Printer Friendly Version
Ever happened to you that you honked your car horn or rang your bicycle bell just to signal to someone else "hi, am here" but they misunderstood it as an aggressive gesture?
Why not allow all bells and horns in traffic to make two different sounds - one for "hi / hello / look here" and one for "danger / jump aside / buzz off"? The "danger" signal should be the one that comes naturally, e.g. when you press the car horn really hard. The lightweight friendly signal could sound when you push the horn only lightly (technology already exists in electronic drums!) or when you pull the bell trigger in the opposite direction.
Reward: Set of free bicycle bells
