I’m sure that we have more than a few parents out there that are reading the site. If you have kids who are just starting to drive, then you no doubt worry about how safe they are being. Namely, are they speeding, braking suddenly or just going places that they shouldn’t be? Wouldn’t it be great if you had a device that would tell you all of these things? I’m sure it would be even better if you could get one for free, right?
This week we will be giving away a SafeDriver from Lemur Monitors. This two-part device has a sensor that plugs into the data port of your car, and a key fob that displays the car’s maximum speed, number of sudden stops and distance traveled since the last reset. Don’t worry, you’ll have to enter a PIN to reset it, and the device will alert you if either the sensor or the fob has been tampered with.
So what do you have to do to win? Like many of our contests, US residents can drop a comment below to enter. Next Friday we’ll select a winner at random from the comments left. Good luck!

haha…sucks to be my cousin who just got his license. thank goodness they didn't have this technology when i was a teenager. hahaha! thanks for the contest!!!
Poor kids of the future….
I'm putting this on grandpas
my son will hate me.
odd name – very good idea.
you'll know which poor kid gets this he or she will be the only teen driving speed limit…haha oh i feel sorry for him or her when they go out with their friends or date….OhGizmo! WHYYY MUST U DO THIS TO OUR FUTURE!!!
I grew up in a small rural community in the 50's and my Dad always knew how and where I had been driving before I even got back home. My teen grand daughter might hate me if I were to win this.
My Wife just got her license….this would be great for me…so i can know not to let her drive when were going out lol
This would be nice to have.
dropping a line to win!
With 2 new drivers in the house, this would be a nice to have!!!
Well my daughter just got her License and what the heck lets give her some Tech to go with it.
Cool
Cool, now I finally have proof to show the cops that I'm not speeding.
i cant wait to see what my family has been doing when they wanna take my riced out civic for a spin
Two new drivers in the house, this might be useful to help educated them on their driver practices
This is horrible. Half of my best memories would have been deleterious to my continued freedom with this tiny Big Brother piece of spyware. I hope I win it so that I can take a hammer to it and allow someones child the chance to experience the freedom's everyone clamoring for this grew up with. If you have a single, solitary memory of budding automotive freedom, but would foist this on your progeny to “protect” them, then shame on you.
hook me up !
I should probably use this to monitor my 17 year old son, but I gotta say, I wouldn't mind seeing how my wife drives! Proof! I need Proof!
Kids, wives, feeble grandparents… so many uses
I don't need kids, I have parents that use my car.
Love this…it'd be fantastic to use with my kid.
Love this…it'd be fantastic to use with my kid.
This would be fantastic for my soon-to-be-driving kid!
perfect for someone i know
Man….If only my parents had had this! haha
If my parents had had this….oooofffph
This is fantastic. . . I need to know all the secrets
Anybody know how it works plugging multiple devices into that port? I've got a similar device that reports a smaller set of data (number of “hard brakes”) to my insurance company to get me a lower rate.
Nice! Perfect for my gf lol
Looks great! Our son is about to start driving, so …
Pretty cool – I could have used this when I started.
Interesting technology…thanks for sharing!
I need this for my wife!!!!
Just dropping a comment… would be nice to know she's driving safe…
I can confidently say that everyone in my family could benefit from one of these things ha. Pretty sure this would give some much needed feedback on our driving. We could all use a little reflection on our driving now and then 🙂
this would come in handy, to monitor my speed demon husband.
i want it!
Great gizmo to have. I would have the problem of always trying to beat my high score though.
I really need this. My stepdaughter is not to be trusted on curfews, much less how she's going to drive with friends in the car. Please…I beg of you. I live with three females in the house. If it's not the wife, it's the 7yr old daughter trying to act like the 16 year old. If that doesn't deserve one of these for free, I don't know what will! 🙂
