Pressbox (Press Release) - (Leeds, NY)- Driving will never be the same. Leeds resident Marlon Munoz unveils The Co-Pilot.
The Co-Pilot is a safe voice warning system that generates safety warning messages that will help drivers around the country prevent a car accident, regardless of the type of weather condition.
The gadget contains over 50 safety related messages that can be played in sequence or at random in intervals of 2, 4 and 8 minutes or 4, 10, and 20 minutes. The messages come standard or can be customized to fit geographic locations or driver preferences. Another feature of the Co-Pilot is the lack of a on and off button.
When asked about this particular feature, Mr. Munoz explained that some people might want to turn the device of because it might be too annoying. But that's the point. We feel that in order for people to pay attention to their driving, they need constant reminder. Specially for newly trained drivers or elderly people that still enjoy driving but may need a reminder here and there.

Mr. Munoz sites a 2004 report that shows the state of New York having 1,493 traffic fatalities compared to 42,636 in the nation. He reiterates that people are not paying attention on the road. He states that distractions like the cell phones are part of the problem. He also points to a 2002 DOT report that found
"over a half a million drivers are holding cell phones at any given time." Just think, he says, that was in 2002, imagine what the number is today.

Mr. Munoz's web site www.SafeCoPilot.com offers some driving tips:

1) Always be aware of your surroundings when driving
2) Always drive defensively
3) Concentrate on the road, don't call and drive!
4) Be courteous
5) Always keep your distance regardless of the weather conditions

The Co-Pilot can be used by anyone that drives a vehicle. Parents, teens, grandparents, even commercial drivers and machine operators.
