Elias Van Ekelenburg, with the nonprofit Safety Center in Sacramento, is allowing parents and their teens to try out a GPS technology called Intelligent Speed Assistance.
"It basically measures what the speed limit is on a particular road," Van Ekelenburg said. "It continually updates and connects directly to your gas pedal."
Driving too fast is one of the leading causes of fatal crashes in California. The California Highway Patrol says it was a factor in last month's deadly crash in Sacramento County along Scott Road where a 16-year-old driver and her 14-year-old passenger were killed.
"In general, it costs around $120 to $250 a month to put in your car," Travars said. "We think of them as training wheels. As soon as your child knows how to drive safely, as soon as they've learned not to speed, take it back out of your car and return the car to normal."
The Safety Center will be holding another free demonstration for parents and teens next month.
