You have to check this out. It is a in vehicle car camera that video tape the driver and what he sees. Pretty Cool.
Stop your kids from texting or just fooling around in the car.

Having a 18 year old daughter is bad enough. Now let her drive. Remember the freedom of having your own car? Calling your friends and off you go. Except today there are so more problems that face young drivers. Texting, talking on the phone, drinking, distraction of all sorts. Not being able to track my daughter when she drives would be like not breathing. She hates it, but that's the price she apys for having a car to drive. http://www.safetytrack.net/ provided the needed tracking system that allows us to fine her when we need her. See hoe fast she is driving and if she gets lost, like 18 year olds do, help her fine her way. Affordable.

Traffic crashes are the leading cause of teen fatalities, accounting for 44% of teen deaths in the U.S.
The National Safety Council sees the issue as a national crisis.
We have segmented the problem into three distinct areas, and have adopted strategies to address each of them:
Reduce teen drivers' exposure to risk
Modify risky driving behavior
Develop driver skills and experience
Reducing risk
We're on a mission to inform parents of teen drivers that they can beat the odds. In November 2002, papers prepared by acknowledged experts were presented at the "Symposium on Graduated Driver Licensing: Documenting the Science of GDL." The proceedings provide a comprehensive review of the research that has been done on teenage driver safety issues.
Since the symposium was held, the National Safety Council and its partners in teen driving safety have been distilling the scientific research to present the facts to driver safety professionals and to families, using a variety of methods,
Our new Alive at 25 Parent Program is developed specifically for parents of new drivers. This innovative 3-hour course helps parents partner with their teens to help them become safe, responsible, and defensive drivers.
The new Family Guide to Teen Driver Safety is one way we are helping families understand the truth about risks, and the practical wisdom of graduated privileges.
NSC and its local chapters will be holding parent workshops to introduce the Family Guide to parents. If you are interested in attending a workshop in your area, please send us an e-mail at support@nsc.org with your name, address and phone number. A representative from the NSC chapter in your area will contact you.
Each year, the Journal of Safety Research® publishes articles summarizing recent graduated driver licensing and tee driver research..
This collection of web pages is another way. We will be adding to the information here, so be sure up sign up with your e-mail address to receive reminders to check back for new content.
Modifying risky behavior
Traffic safety programs for teens are often designed to help teens modify their own driving behavior to reduce risk of crashes. But we know that many teens have difficulty regulating their risk-taking behavior, and recent research is beginning to give us insight into why. Researchers are finding that the area of the brain that governs weighing consequences of one’s actions, suppressing impulses and organizing thoughts does not fully mature until about age 25. In addition, hormones are active and influencing the brain’s neurochemicals that regulate excitability and mood. This can result in thrill-seeking behavior and other experiences that create intense feelings, during years when the brain’s ability to make people more responsible is not yet fully mature. It’s also during these years that teenagers typically learn to drive.
A balanced approach to traffic safety for young drivers should not depend entirely on teens regulating their own driving behavior. Many factors influence teen driving, including friends and peer pressure, a belief in invincibility, and physiological changes. Defensive Driving Course-Alive at 25 can help teens deal with these issues that can influence their driving behavior.
Developing skills
Driver education programs can prepare young people to drive and can play a role in helping teens to begin developing driving skills. However, completion of driver education does not mean that teens are then ready to manage a full range of driving challenges. What research shows is more important to safe driving is the opportunity to improve driving skills through gradual exposure to increasingly-challenging driving tasks. Teens become safer drivers as they build driving experience and develop safe driving habits and behaviors. Driver education can help provide the foundation for safe behaviors through knowledge and practicing beginning skills. Driver education should be viewed as the beginning of a process through which teens learn valuable driving skills and the experience necessary to make them safe drivers. Parents should not rely solely on driver education to provide teens the significant knowledge and experience that they need to become safe drivers. Too often, completing driver education is viewed as the end of the learning process, rather than the beginning. In some states, the completion of driver education qualifies a teen for full driving privileges. The National Safety Council believes this is not a wise approach. Research has shown that significant hours of behind-the-wheel experience are necessary to reduce crash involvement risk. In the process of obtaining that experience through the first two years of driving, the risk of crash involvement can be reduced through state-imposed graduated licensing and parental restrictions.

Since the inception of GPS Tracking and Fleet Tracking, there has not been a unit that can provide large fleet trailer owner with the reliable tracking and scalable management of their trailer fleet.Battery life has long been the Achilles heel of the trailer tracking unit. Many units were very reliable, yet the battery life would last only a few days to a few months. Some even tried solar power units in an effort to breach this gap in the trailer tracking oasis.One unit now claims to have battery life of up to ten years. TEN YEARS!!! With full online reporting and 6 updates a day, this unit bridges the gap of functionality and form. This seems to be an answer to the long awaited question, How They Do That? The unit is very compact and low in profile. 6.3” X 9.2” X 1.77”. It can be fitted on any trailer, either vertically or horizontally. Log in and “see” what you have been missingTrailer tracking has now met its match.

Safety Track of Michigan Releases New Website Offering Parents a Way to Keep Track of Teen Drivers.
Belleville, MI -- May 27, 2005 --Since its inception, the driver’s license has been a rite of passage from the teenage into the adult years and has always struck terror in the hearts of parents. Safety Track of Michigan understands this concern and has made it their mission to replace this terror with a sense of calmness.
Technology that was developed for the United States Military is now available for families; offering a comfort and tranquility uncommon in parents of teenage drivers. The Safety Track System is an automated vehicle tracking and control system that uses today's GPS (Global Positioning System), wireless communication and Internet technologies to keep you in the know. The system follows vehicle movement – anywhere in North America, at any time – and generates an online location report of the vehicle’s last known position, including the street address if available. The printable report includes the amount of time the vehicle was at a location, the speeds en route and the direction in which the vehicle was traveling.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway Loss Data Institute, teen drivers have the highest crash risk of any age group. Many crashes are the result of inexperienced drivers operating vehicles under dangerously excessive speeds. Safety Track doesn’t just give parents crucial information; it puts parents in the car with their children at all times.
Careless driving is only one of the aspects that cause parents undue distress. The other aspect is not knowing where our children are once they have left our house. Safety Track takes this wondering away. At any time, parents can log on to www.safetytrack.net and access a detailed map showing exactly where their car is located, providing the car has not left the North American continent.
The Safety Track system is now extremely affordable for the average family. Each system includes a 2” x 2” x 4” receiver that is installed out of sight under a vehicle’s dashboard.
For further information visit the Safety track website at www.safetytrack.net or contact Safety Track at 734-699-7633 or via e-mail at customerservice@safetytrack.net. Safety Track of Michigan is a woman-owned business that was established in 2002 to help small businesses maintain control of fleet vehicles.
