Dubai, UAE - Sekurus International putting teenage drivers safely in the hands of parents

UAE (SANEPR.com) August 27, 2008 -- Sekurus International LLC, a leading asset management, protection, tracking fleet management, Telematics products and services provider, has revised its strategy for expanding market share in the International Personal Automotive market.

Research has shown that teenagers don't drive safely for fear of crashing, but rather for fear of getting a ticket. Researchers said that teenagers have a sense of immortality and the "it can't happen to me" syndrome.

“If the use of our SekurTrack™ devices can prevent a tragedy, we know we will have accomplished our mission”, says Basel Al Salah CEO of Dubai based Sekurus International. “SekurTrack™ is a potential lifesaver”, Al Salah continued,“as teenagers responsibilities increase, like the privilege to drive a motor vehicle, your anxiety levels can skyrocket and for good reason. Some psychologists will say, installing a device in your teens vehicle show a total lack of trust on the parent’s part. Would it be better for a teenager to get a speeding ticket on their own accord and deal with it as many would suggest? Or, would it preferable for parents to take a pro-active approach to their teen's behaviour and modify it through open communication?”

SekurTrack™ notifies parents if their teen is speeding
SekurTrack™ helps parents teach younger drivers safe habits on the road. Using SekurTrack™ password-protected website, parents can set a speed limit
Whenever the vehicle exceeds the set speed limit, SekurTrack™ sends an immediate alert to parents via email and/or text message.

SekurTrack™ alerts you if your teen drives beyond a specific geographic area
Whenever the vehicle enters or exits a Geo-fence boundary, SekurTrack™ sends an immediate alert to parents via email and/or text message
SekurTrack™ helps parents monitor their younger drivers’ behaviour on the road by using the SekurTrack™ password-protected website where parents can set up to 16 Geo-fences on a Device level as active boundaries

SekurTrack™ emergency contact feature
The ability to instantly locate your vehicle is a standard SekurTrack™ feature. The SekurTrack™ device can be also configured with a panic button and alarm notification. This means, if your teenager is in trouble, pushing the panic button, will send an alert to your Mobile phone or email address. Furthermore, if your vehicle is equipped with an alarm, if ever the alarm is activated, the SekurTrack™ can be configured to send you an alert.


Privacy option
SekurTrack™ has a new feature that safeguards the privacy of parents who prefer not to be tracked when they are personally driving the car.
As Teen tracking brings parents many benefits in terms of reducing the worry of how or where their son or daughter may be driving the SekurTrack™ solution offers the parent the flexibility of how and when the solution is used,

The SekurTrack™ privacy feature allows parents to manage when the device is activated and when it will offer privacy. This gives the best of both worlds - the parents have an effective and complete record of teenage driver usage whilst activated and retains their own privacy at other times. There are extensions to the reports that are generated by the system that show the detail of the trips when the vehicle is in use by their son or daughter.
