This is Drivemocion. It’s a display system for your car that allows you to communicate simple messages to other road users. For example, you can say “Thank you” to the driver behind who has just let you pass, or "Where did you get your licence, in a pack of noodles?, you bloody idiot!"

Considering that most Malaysian drivers consider indicating left and right to be an optional extra novelty function of their car, it would be interesting to see if this caught on here.

I think this sort of inter-car communcation tool is a really good thing. I'd definately buy something like this.


The small electronic display unit is attached to the rear window while the remote control goes to the windscreen where you can easily reach it. They communicate via infrared.

Both the display unit and the remote control are fixed to the inside of the car window using power suction cups so they are very easy to install.

The main unit is powered by 4 AA batteries and they can last about four months depending on usage.

Depending on which version you purchase, (there are two, three or five message versions), the two-messages version comes with only two smileys — :) and :(. The five-messages version comes with :), :(, Thanks, Back Off and Idiot.

It’s possible to have four-letter words or other “customised” messages (you can’t do it yourself, you have to go to an accessories shop) but you have to know that these may not just cost extra but they will also increase your chances of getting run off the road.
