A simple beginning....
My name is Matthew Sheath, and I created VOPS (Vehicle Occupant Protection System) purely and simply because I had had enough of dangerous drivers putting myself and my family's lives at risk, everyday on the road. After one particularly dangerous incident, on a freeway in Sydney, Australia, I got into an altercation with a driver as he raced up from behind and tried to push our family car off the road. This was the icing on the cake and after numerous incidents, sometimes multiple times each day, I knew something needed to be done.
I decided then and there that enough was enough and I designed a set of stickers to put on the back of our car, to try and discourage other drivers from driving dangerously around our family car. I had no idea how well the stickers would actually work, and instantly our daily drives became much safer and stress free, and we now take joy watching the other cars back away from us so quickly when they see the stickers, it now makes us laugh.
You will be surprised how well VOPS works, and how instant the results are! Not long after I applied the stickers to our car. our friends, family and work colleagues asked me if I could have some stickers printed for their cars, and they too were amazed at the instant results, and how much safer their driving had become after applying the stickers. I quickly realised how we could help improve the safety of all road users with the VOPS system, and it has been gaining popularity very quickly ever since.
So in a nutshell, VOPS was born out of a need for me to protect my family against the ever increasing problem of road rage and tailgating. VOPS is a family owned business, based in Sydney Australia, and we are very proud to be able to help other road users and families throughout Australia, and the world, make their daily drives much safer.
