Abstract: The rate at which road accidents occur in recent times is highly alarming. In most cases this leads to loss of human lives and invaluable properties. Drinking of alcohol or smoking while driving, among others, can lead to road accidents. This is especially seen among drug or alcohol addicts. They smoke or drink even while driving and a lot of lives have been lost as a result. Efforts have been made by the state government to educate the road users on the importance of being careful while driving, yet several accidents are still recorded due to the fact that some drivers are addicts. Hence, there is a need to design a system that will monitor drivers’ attitude on the steering especially.......
