With all of the dangers and things that teen drivers can get into when behind the wheel of a car, your PA auto dealers want to know what you think about installing black boxes in the cars they drive.
In a recent study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), a black box was placed in vehicles driving by more than 80 teen drivers in suburban Washington, D.C. The devices used global positioning technology to monitor their driving for 24 weeks. The black boxes tracked driving habits like rapid accelerations, braking sharply, speeding and much more. The data was then posted on a website where their parents could see how their teen drivers were behaving behind the wheel.
Teens also heard beeps and noises when driving if they did not buckle their seatbelts or if they exceeded speed limits. With one group of teens, they had a chance to correct the behavior before the data was sent to the website. For the other group, the data was sent immediately.
We’ll write about some of the results of the study on Monday. Until then, your Media area Pontiac dealer wants to know what you think about this type of technology. Would you want to install one of these devices in the car your teen drives or would it rattle your nerves to know what your teen driver is doing behind the wheel at all times?
