1. A vehicle safety device comprising:

  • a gearshift/transmission solenoid lock mechanism for the gearshift;

    weight sensors;

    seatbelt sensors;

    an electronic circuit board an outer case containing solenoid a transmission case said gearshift transmission solenoid locking mechanism has a sensor on each seat and has a control device connecting to a locking mechanism;

    said gearshift locking device has a shifter lock shaft, part of the locking solenoid This shaft is extended by the solenoid and retracted by a return spring;

    said gearshift/transmission locking mechanism is contained in an outer case. said outer case contains engaging coil, power cable, return spring, spring retainer, and lock shaft;

    the return spring in the outer case is contained in the spring retainer. The lock shaft extends from engaging coil to spring container;
