New Program Helps Promote Safe Teen Driving

American Family Insurance Company's "Teen Safe Driver Program" is helping parents monitor their teens behind the wheel, ultimately leading to safer teen driving habits. When parents sign up for the program, a small camera, which is placed in the teen's vehicle, records the teen's driving. The recordings are analyzed by the company to identify and catalog risky driving behavior, such as swerving, speeding, sudden stops, and rapid acceleration. After the behavior is analyzed, the teen's "report card" is sent to the parents by the insurance company.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car accidents are the number one cause of death among American teens. This program seeks to change those statistics by allowing parents to monitor and correct their teens' unsafe driving habits. It is hoped that this program will prevent auto accidents and reduce insurance rates for parents with teen drivers.
