R/C hand lets drivers express their feelings with the push of a button
99% of the people interact with their traffic partners in 3 ways: flipping the bird, honking and motioning to indicate the other can pass. Maybe they would like to express more things in a simpler way? Fiddling with a remote while driving isn’t a bright idea, but when stuck in the city traffic everyone’s got [...]
Red & blue lights look cool, might get you a fine
This is one of those gadgets that can go very wrong… You can get the Traffic Prompters in blue or red and, while they’re not exactly like the ones on police cars, they’re pretty damn close. They could come in handy at times, but really, red and blue lights with magnets are begging to be [...]

The Sat Nag makes sure you never have a pleasant drive
It looks like a GPS… but it’s definitely not one. It’s probably the most useless piece of car gadgetry ever released… but it’s also funny. Until you throw it out the window, that is. The Sat Nag is like a Sat Nav, just that it doesn’t give any useful information; its “map” features streets such [...]

Driving when tired and/or sleepy is a bad idea, but sometimes there’s just no other option. And, if you’re a professional driver, you’re bound to make a few trips while exhausted.

Seatbelt LEDs help you light up the car without annoying the driver
I know a lot of drivers who hate it if their passengers turn on the ceiling light. And, as a passenger, I’ve always been annoyed by the lack of light when I need it. Of course, the car could be equipped with a flashlight, but no one I know can remember to get one… And [...]
Just whistle – your car keys will bark back
There probably isn’t anyone who hasn’t discovered his or her car keys are missing exactly on that morning when they were late for work. And, even though said keys are usually very close by, they can’t speak so they remain buried under paperwork or clothes for a long while. But even though keys can’t talk, [...]
