A growing number of concerned parents are enlisting the aid of GPS tracking technology when it comes to protecting their teen drivers.

“As a single mom with a sixteen year old son, it’s reassuring to know where he’s driving after school and on weekends.  With the GPS Tracking Key, it’s almost like having a concerned partner or another pair of eyes watching him.”

GPS tracking systems monitor speed and record detailed travel activities, second-by-second, such as exact routes a vehicle has traveled, the number of stops it has made and the duration of those stops.  Recorded data can then be displayed over an animated digital street map, in a text report or with satellite imagery via Google Earth®.

GPS tracking systems enable parents to observe potentially risky driving habits while making their teens more accountable for their actions. A GPS tracking system installed in the vehicle of a teen driver can serve as a powerful deterrent for negative driving habits; yet, GPS tracking also reinforces positive driving habits, like observing speed limits, and encourages more honesty between parents and teens.  Teens have found that they actually enjoyed a greater independence and fewer interrogations about where they were going and when they would return.  In numerous situations, both parents and teens were able to build a stronger foundation of trust by having a GPS vehicle monitoring system along for the ride.

“When my daughter went away to college, I bought a GPS tracking system.  When she drives back to school, I receive an e-mail or text message telling me that she arrived there safely.  It’s such a great feeling, especially during the winter months, to know that she’s okay.”

There are many influences to threaten today’s teen drivers:  talking on cell phones, sending text messages, adjusting iPods, along with the dangers of using drugs and alcohol.  Alarming teen driving statistics continue to make headlines, inspiring parents to take a 21st century approach to teen safety.

For thousands of parents, the presence of a GPS tracking unit in their teens’ vehicles is guaranteed to reduce anxiety levels and provide some much valued peace of mind.  Second-by-second.
