System and method for dynamically generating a speed alert based on driver status

An apparatus for generating a speed alert in a vehicle for one of a primary driver and a secondary driver, the apparatus comprising;

• a device configured to:
• receive a driver status signal indicating that the driver of the vehicle is the secondary driver;
• receive a vehicle speed signal indicating the speed at which the vehicle is being driven on a road by the secondary driver;
• receive a speed limit signal indicating the posted speed limit for the road;
• compare the posted speed limit to the vehicle speed signal;
• and
• generate an alert for the secondary driver if the vehicle speed signal is greater than the posted speed limit.

• receive a speed limit signal indicating the posted speed limit for the road;
• store a predetermined speed buffer;
• compare the posted speed limit and the predetermined speed buffer to the vehicle speed signal;
• and
• generate an alert for the secondary driver if the vehicle speed signal is greater than the posted speed limit and the predetermined speed buffer.
