In addition, the wrist band device may be configured to detect the dashboard apparatus within the first range of the wrist band device; to select at least one of a plurality of audio messages stored in a computer memory of the wrist band device, and to play the at least one of the plurality of audio messages stored in the computer memory of the wrist band device through an audio speaker of the wrist band device.

Abstract: A wrist band including a computer processor; a computer memory; an audio speaker in communication with the computer processor of the wrist band; and a wireless transmitter/receiver in communication with the computer processor of the wrist band; and a dashboard apparatus on a vehicle. The computer memory of the wrist band having computer programming for causing the computer processor of the wrist band to play an audio message when instructed to by the dashboard apparatus. The dashboard apparatus having a computer processor; a computer memory; an audio speaker in communication with the computer processor of the dashboard apparatus; and a wireless transmitter/receiver in communication with the computer processor of the dashboard apparatus. The computer memory of the dashboard apparatus includes computer programming for causing the dashboard apparatus to cause an audio message to be played when the wrist band is within a predetermined range of the dashboard apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus including a computer processor; a computer memory, which communicates with the computer processor; and a sensor for detecting traffic signs, which communicates with the computer processor; wherein the computer memory includes data regarding a plurality of safety regulations for vehicles; and wherein the computer processor receives signals from the sensor, and determines whether a vehicle is violating one or more the safety regulations for vehicles based on the signals from the sensor and the data for the plurality of safety regulations stored in the computer memory, and provides a warning signal when a safety regulation is violated. The apparatus may further include a speedometer which communicates with the computer processor; wherein the computer processor is programmed by computer software stored in computer memory to receive speeds from the speedometer to determine if one or more of the safety regulations for vehicles have been violated.

Abstract: An apparatus including a motor vehicle; a computer processor; a computer memory; a speaker; and a switch responsive to opening of a door of the motor vehicle. The computer processor, computer memory, speaker, and switch are fixed to the motor vehicle. The computer processor executes computer software stored in the computer memory to cause the speaker to emit a sound message, indicating that a driver should not text and drive, in response to the activation of the switch upon opening of the door of the motor vehicle. Further a combination apparatus including a civilian driver's license apparatus; and a master driver's license apparatus; wherein the master's license apparatus is configured to come in close proximity to the civilian driver's license apparatus to enable the civilian driver's license apparatus to operate a motor vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus for a vehicle is provided comprising a first seat occupant detector, a first seat belt buckled sensor, and a seat belt warning device. The seat belt warning device may be configured to communicate with the first seat occupant detector and the first seat belt buckled sensor. The seat belt warning device may be programmed to cause an audible warning when the first seat occupant detector detects the presence of an individual in a first seat of the vehicle and the first seat belt buckled sensor detects that a first seat belt corresponding to the first seat is not buckled. The apparatus may include a first seat belt contacting seat sensor, wherein the first seat belt contacting seat sensor may determine if the first seat belt is in contact with the first seat.
