Using technology can provide information regarding driver habits. Bad driving habits have the potential of causing dangerous situations on the road. They may lead to road rage and cause other drivers to be more defensive on the road. If the bad habits are recorded, drivers may become more aware of their problems and learn to overcome these dangerous habits.
