My daughter has her learner’s permit now, and I’m really not relishing the idea of her being on the road by herself in the near future. The Tiwi Driver Mentoring Solution system could be just the thing she, or any beginning driver, needs to remind her of safe driving practices when an experienced driver isn’t with her. The Tiwi connects to the on-board diagnostics port of your car to monitor speed, braking, seat-belt usage (for certain cars), and the like. It doesn’t just record driving information for later review, though. It gives real-time, verbal instructions to the driver to remind them of the speed limit, to put on their seat belt, to stop driving aggressively – without you having to be there to do it yourself. You’ll need a service plan so the data can be transmitted to the Tiwi web portal. The Tiwi monitor is $599.99 to purchase, but you can get a subsidized price of $299.99 when you sign up for 1, 2, or 3 year service plans. Monthly service plans vary from $24.99 a month to $54.99 a month. Options let you receive an immediate call to notify you of driving infractions, and you can even add a road-side assistance option.
