1. A vehicle control system for monitoring and executing a control command remotely comprising:
- a vehicle having a CAN BUS communications network;
a safe driving system central microprocessor operatively connecting a plurality of modules to said CAN BUS communication network, said plurality of modules including a Global Position System and an accelerometer, and a speed limit determining module for determining the speed limit at the location of said vehicle and a tolerance comparator module for determining an over speed limit tolerance;
a transceiver for communicating data from a plurality of modules;
a remote wireless communication device for receiving data transmitted from said transceiver, said wireless communication device having an applet for remotely executing a control command to said vehicle CAN BUS network limiting the operation of said vehicle responsive to data received from said plurality of data modules;
whereby a vehicle'"'"'s operation can be monitored and a vehicle control command executed remotely from a wireless communication device.

10. A method of remotely monitoring and executing control commands in a vehicle comprising the steps of:
-
attaching a safe driving system central microprocessor and a plurality of operatively connected modules to a CAN BUS communication network, said plurality of modules including a speed limit determining module for determining the speed limit at the location of said vehicle and a tolerance comparator module for determining an over speed limit tolerance; continuously monitoring the speed limit of the vehicle at its location; determining when a vehicle'"'"'s speed exceeds a tolerance set by the tolerance comparator; transmitting a vehicle'"'"'s speed exceeding a set tolerance to a remote wireless communication device; and transmitting a vehicle control command from said remote wireless communication device to said central processor; whereby a vehicle'"'"'s operation can be monitored and a control command executed remotely from a wireless communication device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
