GPS Tracking Systems a Modern Safety Measure for Teenage Drivers

Sept. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Burlingame, CA—As fatal car accidents continue as the leading cause of death for U.S. teenagers, parents are increasingly utilizing the most advanced options available in GPS tracking to monitor teenage driving habits.

“With real-time GPS trackers and GPS tracking software, parents now have the ability to monitor their teenager’s driving with great detail, including speed and location at any time, day or night,” said Gilbert Walz, CEO of TrackingTheWorld, Inc., a leading developer of GPS tracking systems and accessories.

According to 2009 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, car accidents remain the leading cause of death for U.S. teenagers.  In fact teenagers are four-times more likely to be involved in an accident, mile for mile, than older drivers, a dismal fact, that reflects the tragedy of eight U.S. teenage driver deaths every day.
“We’ve found that parents are no longer satisfied with cell phone check-ins, and want more details on their child’s driving speed and location,” said Walz. An added layer of security is also an important deciding factor for parents interested in GPS tracking for teenagers, according to Walz, referencing the dangers teenagers face when out alone.

Walz reports that TrackingTheWorld’s Enduro Pro GPS tracking device is highly-sought after by parents of teenagers.  “The Enduro Pro GPS tracker is a versatile choice which offers a number of options including wearing the GPS tracker on one’s body, placing it in a vehicle’s glove box, or hardwiring the GPS tracking device to the vehicle,” said Walz.  Using TrackingTheWorld’s GPS tracking software, accessed via the Internet, parents can pinpoint their teenagers speed, location and direction of travel, in real time, 24-hours a day.  In addition, the EnduroPro GPS tracking unit offers speeding alerts, which automatically alert parents when their teenage driver is exceeding a pre-determined rate of speed.

TrackingTheWorld’s GPS tracking software allows parents to create virtual boundaries (known as geo-fences) for their teenage driver.  When a boundary is crossed, parents are immediately alerted via cell phone.  

A panic button feature on the Enduro Pro GPS tracking unit will transmit a rapid series of location reports when the button is pressed.  “GPS tracking is a smart choice for providing an extra layer of security for families.  In addition to tracking driving habits, GPS tracking systems provide an instant method for alerting parents when a teenager is in a dangerous situation, and exactly where they are at that time,” said Walz.
