It is well-known that Police Officers require ‘probable cause’ to stop a driver. Nevertheless, when a driver is pulled over while already driving, it is too late – they are putting their lives and the lives of other at risk. The SafeKey offers an effective means to avoid driving while intoxicated and alcohol crashes in the first instance. Past News Releases RSS Paul Douglas Joins Board of SafeKey...

SafeKey®, is a revolutionary new way for drivers to assess their capability to operate an automobile safely after drinking. The inexpensive device stops impaired driving before drivers take the wheel and potentially severely damage innumerable lives through alcohol crashes,

Dr. Thomas Edwards, SafeKey Corporation’s founder and inventor, said, “My experience being stopped for DUI was the most humiliating, degrading, embarrassing and expensive experience I’ve ever undergone. This incident motivated me to devise a means that was permanent, affordable and effective in preventing DUI’s.”

SafeKey works on an entirely different, and much more valid, basis than conventional ways of assessing intoxication and preventing alcohol crashes. The SafeKey’s starting point is the well-known fact that alcohol and other drugs compromise human reaction times. Breathalyzers measure blood alcohol concentration in the breath, but those results are often both imprecise and irrelevant. There is little correlation between a person’s inability to drive safely and alcohol concentration in their breath – people tolerate intoxication differently.

SafeKey evaluates the only thing that is important to prevent alcohol crashes: eye-brain-hand response time. This system consists of two components -- an immobilizer, an electronic switch, which controls electric power to the engine starter, and a check module, which assesses the user’s neuro-motor response.

When the user activates the check module, the user simply duplicates a random pattern on a set of colored LED lights. If the response is within a safe level, the car can be started. After three failed tries, a driver cannot start the vehicle and cannot try the SafeKey again for about an hour.

In the U.S. some 16,500 persons are killed each year and serious collateral injuries occur every two minutes. Almost 1.4 million are charged with DUIs. Multiplied globally, losses caused by impaired driving are virtually incalculable. SafeKey promises to reduce this terrible toll.

“Our electronic product costs about a tenth of breathalyzer interlock devices and is permanently owned by the purchaser,” said Mr. Jim Rennie, the Company’s President. “The SafeKey encourages drinkers to check their sobriety well before they might ordinarily continue drinking.

Dr. Richard Galbraith, co-founder of SafeKey and the VP of Medical Affairs, emphasized, “The SafeKey System not only detects the effects of alcohol, but any other source of impairment as well. The SafeKey is a DUI/DWI preventative.”

Dr. Galbraith added, “It is well-known that Police Officers require ‘probable cause’ to stop a driver. Nevertheless, when a driver is pulled over while already driving, it is too late – they are putting their lives and the lives of other at risk. The SafeKey offers an effective means to avoid driving while intoxicated and alcohol crashes in the first instance.”
