A combination of two devices providing a method for ascertaining that the parking brakes of a vehicle are applied whenever the driver leaves the driver's seat and that the driver is always wearing their seat belt whenever the vehicle is rolling. One embodiment of a seat belt restrictor assembly (40) interconnected by means of electronic communication circuit (56) to a choice of one of the many embodiments of the parking brake restrictor assemblies (60, 74, 90, 100) presented here, whereby, the driver cannot disengage the parking brakes until the seat belt is fastened, and the driver cannot unfasten the seat belt until the parking brakes are engaged. Other important safety and security functions may also be enforced by connecting to these two devices, such as, password technology which allows control over who drives the vehicle, battery-drain monitoring, and wireless cell-phone and text scrambling. |
