Problem- A group of teenage boys were being irresponsible and decided to drive while drinking alcohol. They got in a car crash and one of them died.
Invention/Solution- We came up with a car that will monitor your movement to slow you down when you’re exceeding the speed limit. The car will slowly pull to the side of the road, turn on the emergency flashers, and come to a stop. The car will also do this when you are driving recklessly. The police will be alerted if your car is pulled to the side of the road.
I know there is a lot of controversy over self-driving cars, but this certainly could help with situations like this!

I bet a car pulling to the side of the road when you are speeding would be much more effective than getting a ticket to slow people down.
