For teenagers, getting a driver's license is a rite of passage and another step toward independence. For parents, it can mean less time spent carting a child around or help with running errands. But it can be difficult balancing safety with independence. There are many worrisome statistics surrounding teen driving. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year-olds. Major factors contributing to fatal car accidents involving teen drivers include inexperience, alcohol, drugs, speeding and distractions such as music, passengers and cell phones. Alarmingly, studies have shown that when there is just one other passenger in the car with a teen driver, the risk of having a fatal accident doubles and with two or more passengers, the risk goes up fivefold.

To mandate helmets or not to mandate motorcycle helmets? That, once again, was the question after a high-profile accident involving Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a Maine woman in Pittsburgh recently. (The other driver, Martha Fleishman, 62, will be cited for failing to yield to oncoming traffic.) Roethlisberger, who was riding a motorcycle, was not wearing a helmet. A helmet might not have prevented his broken nose, jaw and damaged teeth, but one thing's clear: He's lucky he escaped with only a concussion instead of a more serious head injury - something a helmet does protect against. Like Pennsylvania, where the accident occurred, Maine has no helmet law. It's common to see bikers cruising down local roads or highways with their hair flapping in the wind. Given...

Today, the risks of automobile accidents involving emergency responses have increased with car manufacturers making more and more soundproof vehicles and tinted windows, and with drivers distracted by music and cell phones. To prevent this, Alert Technologies developed the Radio Alert Transmitter, a device installed in an emergency vehicle, which is activated by its siren and transmits tone and voice message to vehicle radios up to 1,000 feet. This technology is in the final stages of FCC approval and costs under $1,000.
