Yes! You Can Monitor Your Teen’s Driving Even When You’re Not There

According to an article by the Insurance Information Institute, drivers age 15-20 are responsible for 12.9% of all fatal crashes. They Also have the highest rate of fatal of all age groups and motor vehicle crashes is the number one cause of death for this age group.
How can we protect our kids?
- Limit passengers allowed when driving. Drivers with passengers age 8-17 are more likely to get in an accident then driving without a passenger or with passengers age 25 and older.
- Limit where they’re allowed to drive to streets with lower speed limits.
- Encourage them to wear their seat belts.
We can’t be with them all the time so it’s difficult to monitor what they’re doing. Or is it?
There are products out there now that allow you to monitor your child’s driving behavior. They’re fairly inexpensive worth every penny for the peace of mind they provide. GPS Technologies Safetrack is one you can look into. Depending on how much detail you want to monitor it can alert you on your cell phone when they exceed a certain speed set, travel outside a certain distance from home, even locate them on a map via GPS with your computer.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know your teen is actually at the movies tonight and arrived safe? Now you can.
