guilt-trips and nagging, so you can focus on becoming the best
driver you can be!

As an occupational therapist and a parent of teenagers nearing driving age, including one with ADHD, I could not find a product or app on the market that I wanted to use to help my teens learn safe driving practices. So, I created one!Sure, I plan on enrolling them in driving lessons, but what happens after the driving lessons end and they are supposed to be driving on their own? Anyone remember getting into an accident within the first year of driving or know someone who did!?
Driving is one of the greatest risks to your teen’s health and safety. Add ADHD into the mix, the risk for all types of vehicle accidents doubles (Brook& Boaz, 2006). I thought if I could create a "co-pilot" of sorts to coach my teens when I am not in the vehicle, I could increase the chances of them learning and creating safe driving habits. My clinical practice has reinforced to me that habits take time to form and who doesn’t need a little extra coaching or support to keep the ball rolling?
MotoPal is a hands-free app that was created for this exact purpose. Not only does it help with trip planning, medication reminders, but it also tracks speed and gives an auditory cue to slow down when perhaps you don’t realize that you may be going over the speed limit. Getting out of the house can be challenging on the best of days let alone when you need to get somewhere on time. The app’s trip planning feature can help cue you to know when you should leave the house for your destination making you less likely to speed.
Let’s face it, when you are a new driver, there are so many things to be aware of and learn, why not make it easier and have the app do some of the brain work for you!
My hope is that MotoPal will increase new driver confidence, independence, and safety on the roads for all.
I hope you find comfort in your new driving pal, MotoPal.
Safe travels,
