As a parent of a teen driver, I find that having the ability to track her has giving us the ability to show her some of the event s that can cause problem. Knowing the exact speed that she is going, helps in reminder her that these types of events can lead to problems; reduce fuel economy is one, risk of speeding tickets, or the higher potential of being involved in an accident. All the statistics show that teen driver are involved in more fatal accidents than any other age group. The ST-300 is an amazing tracking device.


As a parent, we have even gone to the extreme and installed an in vehicle car camera from Safety Track to show just how distracted teen drivers can be while driving. If it isn’t the radio, it could be the phone, or worse yet, texting. You would be surprised just how comfortable these teen drivers get while driving. Being able to ride along with your teen driver can give you a better idea of what is really going in the car. The funny part is that they forget they are being video tape after about 30 minute in the car.

Anyway, as a parent we need to take part in helping our teen drivers see that driving a 4000 lb piece of metal can be dangerous and needs to be taken seriously.
