DID YOU KNOW THAT THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF TEENAGE DEATHS IS AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS?

In the year 2000, 6,495 Americans between the ages of 15 and 20 were killed in motor vehicle accidents—the leading cause of death for this age group.

Consider these statistics from the National Security Council (NSC):

• More than 3,800 young drivers age 15-20 are killed every year in traffic
  accidents. More than 326,000 young drivers are injured, often critically.
• Young drivers are involved in fatal traffic accidents over twice the rate of the rest of the population
• Exceeding the posted speed limit or driving at an unsafe speed are the most
  common errors in fatal accidents.

In addition, teenagers driving at night with passengers are four to five times more likely to crash than teenagers driving during the day. The distraction of cell phones and MP3 players has also become a rising contributor to teen injuries and fatalities.

GPS tracking systems are convenient, cost-effective and easy-to-use tools that parents can use to help keep their teenagers from joining the ranks of these alarming accident statistics. By monitoring speed, location, time and time duration of a traveling vehicle, these various systems are able to track driving habits and keep teens accountable for their whereabouts, while still ensuring privacy.

While there are no guaranteed life-saving inventions available in today’s market, proper monitoring and guidance can greatly reduce the risk of injuries or fatalities among young, less-experienced drivers.
