Alertness while driving is important. It is normally something that helps a lot in avoiding accidents or even getting into them. Apparently this is one purpose of this software, the DriveSharp which is a new addition to the Posit Science software roster.

DriveSharp is clinically proven to train the brain to think and react faster on the road. This helps drivers feel more confident, capable and alert behind the wheel. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, the non-profit research affiliate of AAA, announced today that it is recommending DriveSharp to enhance driver safety and AAA Clubs across the nation are promoting the product.

Ideally, this software does seem to serve a purpose. There are drivers who have problems when driving and it takes more than turning the wheel and stepping on the gas pedal. The mental area of driving needs sharpening as well and hopefully this new software can provide that to avoid car accidents which cannot be totally avoided.

Most cars we have today come with power steering. While we all love the ease in maneuvering and in making turns, we also have to be careful. For one, these are still auto mechanisms that need to be checked and if we are not careful, we may find ourselves in unlikely situations such as accidents when we are driving on the road.

Such was the declaration of General Motors as far as their trucks and SUVs are concerned. They are prone to losing power in steering and this was proven via some company testimonials and documentation.

Some drivers complain they must struggle to parallel park and navigate into tight spots. Others say they end up occupying two parking spaces because of difficulty turning the wheel. They say they were never told about the condition before buying the vehicles.

So if you think that power steering is a privilege, then perhaps you are right. However, be aware of the potential problems with power steering, a big help if you own a big truck or SUV from GM.
