Teen Safe Driver Program
Teens are more than 9 times as likely to get in a car crash than an adult.
Handing over the keys to your teenage driver is one of the most difficult things you'll ever do as a parent. And while teens may drive safely when their parents are in the car, crash rates increase dramatically when parents are not present.
The Teen Safe Driver SM Program uses innovative technology and parent feedback to help teens become safer drivers. As a result, the program can help dramatically reduce risky teen driving behavior. And the best part is it’s absolutely free for automobile insurance customers of American Family Insurance!
On average the Teen Safe Driver SM Program reduces risky driver behavior by 70% according to an independent review by the University of Iowa.
Here’s how it works:
- A small audio/video recording device installed behind the rearview mirror of the car driven by your teen.
- When triggered by erratic vehicle movements, such as extreme braking, acceleration, cornering or a collision, the device provides a video clip of what occurred the 10 seconds before and after the event.
- The recorded event is sent wirelessly to analysts, where it is reviewed and scored and coaching tips are offered.
- Each week parents and teens are encouraged to review and discuss the results, which they access through a secure Website.
This is a sample of what is captured through the recording device mounted on the rearview mirror through the Teen Safe Driver SM Program. Both the driver and road is captured in the simultaneous recording. Watch actual teen driving videos.
