Smile speed monitor

g'day all, i have seen somewhere, but can't remember, about a device that can be installed in a vehicle, which will send a message, txt, to a nominated person, whenever the car exceeds a certain speed. i'm going to give my daughter her first car, but i want to make sure she's being sensible. plus the idea of me knowing (banning use of the car), will make her think before putting the foot down. has anyone else heard of/seen this product? if so could you post or pm me with details, thanks paul.

yeah i'd say that'd be more of a bad idea rather than good.
i mean how trusted would she feel?

You could get a GPS logger, then you'll know where,when,how fast she went.

But I'd be pretty ****ed to not have that level of trust of my folks.
