A system enabling a candidate driver to start and operate a vehicle has computerized circuitry coupled to ignition circuitry and to a data repository, the computerized circuitry is adapted to sense whether an ignition switch of the vehicle is open or closed and is adapted to enable or disable ignition voltage. The computerized circuitry communicates wirelessly with a portable communication device, like a smartphone, that stores a list of identities of drivers authorized to operate the vehicle. If a candidate driver is on the list the candidate may start and operate the vehicle, if not, not.
