Top 3 Risks for Teen Drivers

Speeding

Recently, there has been an increase in teen-involved traffic accidents due to speeding. Ensure that your teen is safe by talking to them about the risks of speeding when on the road. GPS tracking is a great tool to use to coach your teen into safer driving habits. Monitor speeding, harsh braking, and rapid starts so that your teen will be more aware of their behind-the-wheel habits.

Texting and Driving

Refraining from texting and driving seems to be a no-brainer, yet 40 to 50 percent of teens admit to doing this. Use handsfree options for your teen to prevent their need/want to use their phone when driving. Also, many phones have settings to prohibit phone use while driving whenever the device connects to the car’s bluetooth system.

Time of Day

Out of all teen deaths caused by car crashes, half of them took place between 3 p.m. and midnight; 54 percent occurred over the weekend. Making sure your teen is only driving during specific hours you’ve set makes a world of difference. Setting up alerts to see whether your teen is driving after curfew hours can help keep your teen safe from these risks.
