Teen Driver Monitoring
Hi;
My daughter will be driving soon and I want to be able to monitor her driving when I am not in the car. Some may say it is spying, but I have made my mind up and I want to do it. My daughter is all for it as well. She knows it will be in the car, and as a result, it will keep her accountable. I am looking for a gps system that will tell me speeds and where she has driven. Most will also alert of jack rabbit starts and sudden stops along with excessive g-forces during turns (Taking turns too fast). I want all of this, but I also want a camera in the car mounted on the rear-view mirror. I want to monitor how many friends she has in the car at a given time and make sure she is focused on driving and not her friends or the radio or texting or applying make-up or what ever else kids may do while driving. I am hoping for a camera that will take a snap shot of the interior of the vehicle say every 30 seconds and upload them to a website where I can monitor from any internet connection. If any of you are familiar with any of these teen driver monitors, I would appreciate and recommendations. |

If she knows she is being monitored with video while driving, she wont be tempted if a "Friend" says "it's ok to drink one beer while you drive" or "I can drink while you drive" I hear many parents complain about kids who text while driving. How many are actually involved in trying to eliminate the behavior. This is not just for kids. I work with a fleet of vehicles. The owner has had to put up with his drivers rear ending cars, and calls from people for his drivers driving like maniacs. He is considering putting cameras in his fleet vehicles as well. Just the knowledge that they are there and can be viewed is enough to make some drive more appropriately |

I'm glad you are not my mother. Knowing you are watching so closely she may have an accident. |

If any of you are familiar with any of these teen driver monitors, I would appreciate and recommendations. I remember the specifics, but there are two other options available to you. You can pull the computer from her car and read it. It'll tell you what she's been up to but not where. You can get replacement ones with longer memories if you need it. You can also get a replacement and drive good with it. Then slam your brakes on and come to a stop. Pull the memory module and throw it in your glove compartment. Then if you have an accident, you can swop the modules and "prove" you weren't speeding ! There is also some nanny-type app for cell phones so you know where she is. It might also track speed, but I don't know. |

You might be able to adapt this concept to achieve your objective. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YLmh5iDIhw By the way, you're about 15 years too late to get your kid to do the right thing when you're not around to enforce the rules. |

Had you instilled in her good defensive driving practices from her toddler years instead of getting her accustomed to enduring G forces you wouldn't have a worry about *her* driving, now, when it's *****way***** too late. You keep that in mind if she's involved in an "accident". ----- - gpsman |

Exactly, there should be a little voice playing in the kids brain at this point that was planted early and cultured for a number of years. |

Or else learn to trust her. I think many of us, as parents, automatically assume our spouselings are going to do everything we did. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. **** happens; good ****, bad ****...but **** always happens. |

Nurses refer to motorcycle riders as organ donors. TDD Bikers in Florida should never make left turns; don't know how many I've read of recently who were hit by drivers oblivious to the bikes. I can remember a couple of young guys who each lost a leg when broadsided by a car....fun to ride, but I'd rather be encased in a steel frame when some blind or drunk fool decides to run into me. |

I didn't imply that others worry less. You probably haven't given CPR to a nineteen year-old with a crushed chest and a compound fracture of a leg. *Or seen a baby thrown through a windshield. *Or a newlywed with 90% third degree burns. *Or someone with brain tissue running out their nose. *Or a face smashed in by running into the rear end of a semi. *My children's high school had a memorial page almost every year. *I kept mental note when I worked in the OR, and about half of the victims that came to OR were involved in accidents with drunks. *Drunks tended to be the less severely injured. That's just about exactly what I thought your response would be. "I didn't imply that others worry less." Then what were you implying? When you state that you worried "about driving from the time my children were born" based on the fact that you are a retired nurse, you appear to be implying that other professionals/laborers/ entertainers didn't. Otherwise, there is no need to bring up your occupation. Do you think the fact that you saw the results of the accidents more often than others means you worried more - no wait, you said you "didn't imply that others worry less". What's left? That we didn't worry at all or that we started worrying later? I'm just trying to understand what you were trying to say. |
