Can GPS Devices Help Your Teen Become a Better Driver & Save You Money on Your NY Car Insurance?
Some GPS programs also offer 24/7 roadside assistance and discounts on your NY car insurance premiums.
Can the same technology that gets you directions when you’re lost also help novice drivers become better drivers?
A number of companies now offer GPS devices that can be installed in the car your teen driver will be using to send data to their parents about their child’s driving. Most GPS services allow parents to set parameters on their child’s driving limits and will receive notifications, via e-mail or text message, if one of the parameters is broken.
The parameters usually include a max speed setting which notifies the parent if their child crosses the speed threshold. Restrictions can also be enforced as to where your child can drive. If you want to see where your child is, many of the teen GPS systems feature a map showing their exact location.
No matter how safe your teen driver is, there is always a chance of a flat tire or running out of gas. Some NY car insurance providers offer discounts if you subscribe to a GPS tracking program.
