iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

As long as you don't live close to your place of employment or in a budding metropolis with massive transportation systems, driving is most likely at least a small part of your daily life.  Unfortunately, there are far too many crazy drivers on the roads who forget that driving is a privilege, not a right.  The problem is, many drivers don't actually realize they are reckless until it is too late.  And just because no one has informed you of your navigational inadequacies doesn't mean that they do not exist.

For this very reason, the new iOS application iDriveControl was created.  Never before has their been a tool that not only can keep you abreast of your own failures, but potentially save your life in the off chance you were to end up in a collision.  But don't take our word for it, why not glance over some of theirs?
iDriveControl turns an iPhone into a black-box that records the position of your vehicle, provides information about the safety of driving by signaling dangerous turns, accelerations and braking.

If you have an accident, your iPhone sends an email with the position of your car to a list of selected people. If you choose, you can have all the data recorded on the web and you can even check them in real time at the www.idrivecontrol.com.


So not only do you get comprehensive analysis of your driving habits, but also the means to store the data remotely should something, God forbid, ever happen to your phone.  While this would be great for helping to keep yourself in check, it would be even more ideal for a parent of a young driver.  The ability to backseat drive, without ever having to step foot in a vehicle is reason enough to make this an instant purchase.
