Today modern living, transportation plays an important role in development of the country. However, the negative effect on a nation is the loss of life whereby the human factor life is considered priceless. There are numerous gadget and safety systems installed on cars or vehicles. To name a few, Automatic Break System (ABS), Air Bag, Finger Print technology to activate car. Distance sensors and many more. All these are to prevent fatality during accidents or to prevent accidents from happening. The government for instance has launched so many road safety campaigns to road users and even the police had ongoing sped limit exercises for speedster in order to discourage driver from speeding. However, the result has not been encouraging. The system that I am proposing could in a way help reduces the increasing statistics of road accidents especially the fatigue car drivers which had also contributed in the road fatality statistics to increase.
