In my opinion, this is the greatest technological breakthrough for parents and their teen driver's safety. Before I go over the benefits to parents, let me explain how these systems work.
A little "black box" is installed usually under the dash where it can't be seen. This "black box" is basically a small computer that records it's exact location and is hooked up to certain features in the car- door locks and sometimes the ignition. It has a built-in antennae that send and receives signals to a satellite.
This data can be viewed from a website that is hosted by the GPS provider. Parents can monitor the vehicle's location and speed by visiting the website. Most systems can also allow the user to set alerts for speeding, braking curfew, or driving beyond a pre-designated area. These alerts can be sent by text message, e-mail or a phone call. It can also be used to un-lock the car doors in case the teen leaves the keys in the car- most parents would love this feature!Since speeding is the leading cause of teen driver deaths, this tool is a must for parents!
I have been able to work out special pricing for systems like this that can allow parents to save 50% on these units and in some cases parents, can get this system installed for free! Go to my website for more details- www.teendriverinsurance.com/stromsoe

Mike,
Thanks for this information. I think if my child knows that she is being monitored it does two things for her, one she has an excuse to use with her friends who try to coerce her into bad behavior and it will make her want to drive safer all the time. I think you are right, a GPS system is technology all parents can and should use.
I've read that speeding is the number one reason why teens get into accidents. This type of system should be a big deterent for teens to even think about speeding. If they do, the parent will know about it immediately. Makes sense to me!
Mike,
Thanks for the info. With my grandchildren approaching driving age you can be sure all four of their vehicles will have a Teen GPS Tracking system.
Sure glad they didn't have them when I was a teen.
