For many of today\u2019s teens, learning to drive is an essential rite of passage. For parents, it is terrifying. The CDC reports that every day six teens, between the ages of 16 and 19 are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/motorvehiclesafety\/teen_drivers\/teendrivers_factsheet.html\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; color: #0563c1;\">killed by injuries received in auto accidents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">You want to give them their wings, but you want to keep them safe. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/gps+teen+tracking.html\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; color: #1155cc;\">GPS tracking for teens <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">allows you to give them that taste of freedom while keeping tabs on where they\u2019re going, how safely they\u2019re driving, and even when they are out past curfew.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">The question you want to know, though, is whether passive GPS tracking is sufficient or if you need to actively monitor your teen\u2019s driving activity. Either method of tracking GPS offers strengths and weaknesses. Passive GPS tracking is a far more affordable option for many families. When you consider the costs of a new car, additional gasoline being used, and the rising costs of auto insurance for teen drivers, cost can be a major factor. The downside is that you must download the information from the GPS tracking device in order to access it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">Active GPS teen driving tracking allows you the ability to track your teen in real time. This means that you can monitor the exact location of your car at any time of the day or night with this type of GPS tracking. You can even set up alerts to notify you by text message or email if your vehicle operates outside of designated hours, goes past certain geographic boundaries, or is driven at excessive speeds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><a name=\"_gjdgxs\"><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">Perhaps the biggest benefit of all, when it comes to teen driving tracking with GPS is that you can tell the exact location of your teen if he or she is in trouble and needs help. This includes accidents, breakdowns, an inability to drive due to alcohol impairment (among male drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 who were involved in fatal accidents, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/motorvehiclesafety\/teen_drivers\/teendrivers_factsheet.html\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; color: #0563c1;\">24 percent had consumed alcohol<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">), or a myriad of other potential problems teens may face while driving. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">As parents, we want to protect our teens from as much as possible, while giving them some sense of freedom to make their own ways in the world.
