As a parent, you want to do everything in your power to prevent accidents, encourage safe driving, and to ensure that your teen has better than average odds of survival if an accident occurs. These are a few gadgets you can invest in that may help reduce your child\u2019s risk of an auto fatality.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Invest in a Hands-Free Speaker Phone System for Your Vehicle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best speaker phone systems are the ones that have voice prompts so your teen doesn\u2019t even need to glance at the phone in order to make a call or answer. Phones are an unnecessary distraction that can be lethal. According to AAA, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cars.com\/articles\/aaa-distracted-teen-driving-worse-than-we-thought-1420678554247\/\">cellphone use accounts for 12 percent of teen crashes<\/a>. When it comes to preventing accidents, reducing cell phone use behind the wheel can be highly beneficial.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Install GPS Tracking Devices in the Vehicles Your Teen Drives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/gps+teen+tracking.html\">GPS tracking for teens<\/a> allows you to monitor your teenager\u2019s driving, even receiving reports of the overall driving record (including where your teen drives) and sending direct alerts by email or text message when your teen is speeding, swerving, hard braking, or traveling outside of certain boundaries. In many cases, simply knowing they are being monitored will encourage your teen to adopt safer driving behaviors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give the Gift of an Emergency Window Breaker and Seatbelt Cutter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is especially important if you live anywhere near water. The ability to quickly exit a vehicle that has become submerged can be the difference between surviving an accident for teens and a far more devastating outcome. The same can be said in accidents that make it difficult for your teen to open a car door.<\/p>\n<p>You can often find a single device that will perform both functions. Just make sure to keep it in the vehicle in a location that is easily accessible by the driver even if the seatbelt is locked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Install Dashboard Cameras in Your Vehicles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dashboard cameras offer many benefits for teen drivers. First, they help to eliminate the bias against teens by providing an accurate recording of accidents that do occur and by encouraging your teen to drive carefully knowing their actions behind the wheel are being monitored.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t always be there to help encourage your teen to drive safely. These devices can help give you an extra pair of eyes on the road, or provide invaluable assistance to your teen if accidents do occur.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To learn more about GPS teen tracking, speak to one of our LiveViewGPS experts by calling 1-888-544-0494 or chatting with us live online. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), auto accidents are the leading cause of death for teens, between the ages of 16 and 19, in the United States.
