Teenagers are often excited to learn how to drive. It is common for a few fender benders to occur before they master the skill. Teenagers sleep deprivation is often blamed on computers and staying up late to e-mail friends, he adds. So you’ve got biology pushing you later and then you’ve got the school systems starting an hour earlier.
Teenagers are more likely to be distracted on the road because of talking on the phone, paying more attentions to their passengers than the road, speeding, or not wearing a seat. Approximately eighty-two percent of all teenage driving accidents are caused by their own mistakes while behind the wheel.
Teens particularly have difficulty adjusting speed to driving conditions. Another factor, they say, is inattentiveness. Teen passengers in a vehicle can distract a beginning driver and/or lead to greater risk-taking.
One gadget that can help catch teen risk takers is the Super Trackstick. The Super Trackstick works anywhere on the planet. Its traveled locations can be shown via a red line that is traced on satellite photos and 3D terrain using the latest mapping technologies from Google Earth.
Watch how a concerned mother caught her son joy riding.
The Super Trackstick continuously records its exact route, stop times, speed, direction, and other valuable information, all of which can be quickly downloaded and viewed on your computer. It even has its own temperature recorder to help monitor the surrounding environment. A vibration detector, combined with proprietary low-power GPS technology, helps to make this an ideal energy-saving GPS device.
Because young drivers often transport their friends, there’s a teen passenger problem as well as a teen driver problem. Teens are first taught proper seating, hand positioning, and seat adjustment. Once out on the Bondurant skills pad they learn and practice safe cornering techniques, skid control, and braking techniques.
Parents are aware of their teens’ driving habits when they are in the car but what happens when a teen is given keys to the car and the parents are not with them. Parent should organize rides, sleepovers, take keys, etc – whatever it takes to keep kids from getting behind the wheel that night. And let your teen know how much you care.
Another great gadget to use to protect teen drivers are hidden cameras especially designed for use in cars, trucks, RVs and SUVs.

These car hidden cameras are ideal for catching misbehaving teen driving habits. Be sure to tell them there is a hidden camera in the car watching them just to keep them safe. If they remove or turn it off, it’s your job to confront them and tell them it’s for their own good. These days hidden cameras are everywhere.
Teenagers — especially boys — are involved in more accidents than older drivers and the accidents tend to be more serious. Significant factors include driving too fast, risk taking, and drinking. Teen drivers not only lack experience, for many of them immature behavior, such as speeding and reckless driving, is common. They may drive cautiously when mom or dad is in the car, but when they’re on their own or with other teens, bad driving is often the norm. Teens don’t often get enough sleep. If you find yourself becoming sleepy while driving, pull over at a safe place and get out and walk around.
Nighttime driving is more difficult for anyone, especially the novice driver. However, teenagers tend to do disproportionately more driving at night, increasing their risk of a fatal motor vehicle crash, as compared to daytime driving.
Nighttime driver death rates, even without passengers, are much higher than daytime death rates. The presence of even one passenger makes nighttime driver death rates scary. Nighttime driving is more difficult for anyone, especially the novice driver. However, teenagers tend to do disproportionately more driving at night, increasing their risk of a fatal motor vehicle crash, as compared to daytime driving.
Passengers in cars driven by teens continue to fare the worst, while other drivers, pedestrians and other non-motorists are also victims. The statistics certainly make parents contemplate carting around their progeny indefinitely, as AAA says that 49 states could beef up their graduated licensing programs. Passengers, to the new driver, represent a source of distraction and also of increased responsibility and liability.
