As a parent, it's your job to keep your teen safe. Want some help?
Limited experience and immaturity are a dangerous combination behind the wheel. Auto accidents are the number one cause of death for teens 16-19. It’s a frightening but true statistic. The hazard is so great that "car crashes are deemed the leading public health problem facing teenagers," according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).*
But, other than sitting in the back seat every time your child is behind the wheel, how can you keep your teen safe?
Use the latest technology to track your teen. Global Teen Tracking combines powerful cell phone, satellite and Internet technologies, allowing you to:
- Know where your teen is
- See how fast the car is being driven
- Get speed alerts when the car is driven over the speed you set
- See where the car stops for a prolonged period
- Set pre-defined boundaries and receive alerts when the car goes out of this area
- Receive alerts via text messages or email

Teen Driving Statistics:
In 2004, in the United States alone, 4,767 teens ages 16 to 19 died of injuries caused by motor vehicle crashes.
In 2005, teenagers accounted for 10 percent of the U.S. population and 12 percent of motor vehicle crash deaths (IIHS 2006).
Teenage drivers-both male and female-are more likely to tailgate and exceed the speed limit if there is a teenage male passenger in the front seat.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, accounting for 36% of all deaths in this age group (CDC 2006).
Crash risk is particularly high during the first year that teenagers are eligible to drive (IIHS 2006).
Teens are more likely than older drivers to speed and allow shorter headways (the distance from the front of one vehicle to the front of the next). (Simons-Morton 2005).
