Thats a great idea wish I would of thought about it another Idea I saw is puting tracking devices on there cars I saw it it on another website http://www.bluewatersecurityprofessionals.com Im so glad other people are thinking about how to make the road safer for everyone heck I think everyone should have a sticker I think it might keep everyone more consitorate if they know someones watching them. Good Job
It is mandatory in a few countries. Australia being one. It has made a great difference in the amouunt of accidents caused by teens or new drivers. The plates on any vehicle a teen drives there must display a "P" (probationary) plate. It does make them think about bad driving choices and the penalties are much stiffer including loss of drivers license. This also fares easier on parents who end up paying the fines.
i actually think its a good idea. if teen drivers know that its on their car, they will be less likely to drive crazy, and if they do they will be properly reprimanded. business opportunity or not, its not a bad idea, im glad someone thought of it before me otherwise i would have done it.
i disagree. have you been to his website. parents will get notified if they do something dumb. it's our job as parents to take care of our children, not the police. and too bad for some parents who wished they would have know what their child were up to before it was too late. you must not have children!!! GREAT IDEA
After getting a report, where's the training, the support network? Is this all about discipline and tattle tale (he said/she said) arguments? Not sure this will actually make a difference. Don't get me wrong, I hope it could help, but there have never been any studies done on "how's my teen driving" programs that show any accident reduction result. The commercial programs include driver training with each report, support networks, and a much lower annual fee. The commercial programs also depend on a manager to coach/counsel/train each affected driver -- is mom and dad a driver's ed instructor in their spare time? Lotsa loop holes with the program as described -- why not just subscribe to an established commercial service to save money and get full program? Hmmm.
what a crazy idea.I see no valuable constructive/reinforcement info here..Just a business opportunity for someone..
