LoJack Corporation Announces 'Teen Smarts' Guide to Help New Drivers with Personal Safety & Vehicle Security

Expands LoJack's Education Initiative; Adds Teen Focus to Company's On-line Knowledge Center for Vehicle Security
WESTWOOD, Mass., Aug. 1, 2006 -- LoJack Corporation today unveiled the newest addition to its education initiative, "Teen Smarts," a quick read guide designed to provide new drivers with important information to keep themselves and their passengers safe, while at the same time protect their vehicles from theft. The effort is an expansion of LoJack's ongoing education initiative, which includes booklets, surveys, statistics and seminars on theft protection for cars, construction equipment and motorcycles -- all housed on the company's on-line Knowledge Center for Vehicle Security.
"Teen Smarts" comes on the heels of a study on teen driving commissioned by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is focusing national attention on the many issues surrounding teen driving, including fatal crashes involving young drivers and teen driving restrictions.

"Getting a driver's license is one of the most exciting milestones in a teen's life and is also a time that demands an entirely new level of responsibility," said Richard T. Riley, LoJack Corporation's President and COO. "That's why LoJack developed its 'Teen Smarts' booklet, which includes important reminders on personal safety behind the wheel, as well as information on how to keep your vehicle safe from today's sophisticated thieves. The booklet leverages the experience we've gained over our 20 years in business. It's also a helpful tool for parents to give to their new teenage drivers."
