The product is called SpeedAlert, which links real-time location and speed data, supported by GPS, with a database of speed limits stored on PDAs or phones. the mobile phone of the driver.

Sydney-based Smart Car said it will persuade the government to develop technology in cars. The product will be available in the market by the end of the year.

The device does not need to be fixed on the car meter, but it can be detached. When the driver exceeds the limit, the speed is displayed on the PDA and a warning sound is generated if the driver does not slow down. When you reach the school area, a voice will warn you and the screen will show speed.

Australian design engineer Michael Paine said the device also functions to record speed violations so that parents can control their child's driving.
