Free Ideas: Introduction.

I encourage entrepreneurs, investors, brand owners, good causes or business people to take these ideas and do what they want with them.

I'm aiming to operate this scheme on an honor system (if such a thing still exists!)

If you deem the ideas valuable, I'll leave any potential profit share to your good will and conscience.

Should someone take an idea and run with it, I'd invite them to contact me out of courtesy and also so I can post "taken" on the idea to discourage multiple usage.

Ultimately, I'd be delighted if any of the ideas came to life and made a positive difference to an individual or a business.  

This is an experiment, perhaps the beginnings of a new model agency (I like the name, “The Free Agent) or perhaps it's something that will be more trouble than it's worth.  We'll see.

If you like the FREEIDEAS project, please share this link to friends and colleagues.

Have fun and thank you.

Floyd. AKA The Free Agent.

IDEA 23: Fine Horn

February 6, 2020

Inspired by living in Brooklyn and opposite a school.  Drivers in Brooklyn will honk their horns like they have some form of turrets syndrome, add that to the triple parking school drop off chaos in the morning and you have a horn orchestra.  It’s horrible and annoying.  The sound of inpatient, petulant people who have no thought for anyone apart from themselves.  

I’m starting to rant.  Calm down.  Let problems become the guid to innovation...

The Idea

Connect the horn to a credit card or apple/google/Samsung pay.  Every time someone hits their horn, $1 is automatically deducted from their account.  

The money is then transferred to a city “Roads and Highways” account where it will go towards fixing potholes and putting in more protected bike lanes. 

In the rare event of a New Yorker actually using the horn to warn other road users or to avoid an accident, the driver can claim the cash back by providing camera footage of said incident. 

Auto insurance will go down for those that use their horn less as an incentive.
