The 'DASHDOK' wallet is an accessory for drivers to incorporate into their vehicle as a way to make routine traffic stops less stressful for the driver and allow them to easily hand over their documents to authorities. The accessory works by being magnetically affixed onto the dashboard, which will keep the driver's hands visible as they reach for their license and registration. The accessory could help to save time and keep the driver safe by preventing an officer to suspect suspicious activity when documents are being retrieved.
The 'DASHDOK' wallet was developed by the Black-owned startup two months after the murder of George Floyd at a time when racial tensions were making it difficult for Black drivers to feel safe upon being pulled over.
