Protecting young drivers
The RookieDongle® is a tiny device that plugs into your cars ODB port. It has a built-in GPS and mobile connection, so it's always connected to the cloud.
It is designed to protect young drivers and their passengers against extreme driving. Parents or guardians are notified instantly via SMS or email in case of reckless driving – like serious speeding, sudden acceleration, harsh braking, and extreme RPM levels.
Each trip and driver gets a score, neatly displayed in your secure account. If the rookie is driving within the tolerance level, the locations, speeds, times of departure or arrival remain invisible to the parents. Sounds like a fair deal?
