Every time a parent hands
over the keys to their teen driver, they worry about the safety and actions
of the newest driver in the household - and with good reason. Driver's
Ed is not enough!
Drivers in the 16-22 year old age group are involved in more accidents
and fatalities than all other age groups combined.* Even the best of kids
find themselves in difficult situations, due to 3 main factors:
* Speed - excessive speed
is cited as the number one reason for teen accidents/fatalities)
* Inexperience - a teen's
mental and physical development are generally not on par with one another,
and many teen drivers simply lack the core experience to successfully
negotiate every traffic situation, weather condition, or bump in the road).
* Peer Pressure - add
one or more friends to the car and the distraction can prove fatal. Many
teens feel social pressures to show off, speed, or perform dangerous acts
behind the wheel to impress their peers.
Don't think it can happen to your teen? Don't be so sure. Even though
your teen may be the most diligent and law-abiding driver when you're
in the car with them, how well will they manage on their own?
A DirectTrack GPS tracking device allows you to lend a helping hand when your teen driver is
behind the wheel, with features such as:
+ Location Request
+ Speed Parameters
+ Geo-fence
+ Remote enable/disabling features
