Monitoring Teen Drivers
OVERVIEW
Despite all of the driving lessons, the tests, and the many, many car rides together, there comes a day when a teenager finally gets their license and can head out alone. It’s a blessing and a curse, great in that it provides mobility and a milestone for maturity, but a curse in that it’s extremely nerve-wracking.
Track your teen to exactly where they are … And how their driving is when you’re not pumping your invisible brake in the passenger side.
