An Australian company，Smart Car Technologies，has developed a system that lets drivers know when they're speeding. When the technology becomes commercially available（可利用的），it could help overspeed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. The company that developed the product hopes to persuade Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobiles.

The product，called Speed Alert，links real­time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of speed limits stored in a driver's PDA or mobile phone. The setup of the product does not need to be connected to a car's speedometer. In fact，it is entirely convenient. It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built­in GPS receivers. If a driver exceeds the speed limit，the speed is shown and an alert sounds.

Michael Paine，an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant，was employed to analyze the product. He told LiveScience that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic”about what they're now calling “intelligent speed alert”．Other research，according to Paine，shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. There is also a potentially controversial future use：“Since the system is so convenient，it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving，”Paine said.“The system even has the ability to record speeding violations(违反)，so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”

The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.
