5 Smartphone Apps That Will Improve Your Teen’s Safety on the Road—Marksville Car Wreck Lawyer Insights

According to TeenDriverSource.org, motor-vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 2,270 teens between the ages 16 and 19 died in collisions in 2014.

What this statistic does not convey is the tremendous emotional hardship that parents endure after losing a child. If your teen is a newly licensed driver, it is critical that you are proactive about helping him or her avoid accidents.

Although nobody can control the actions of other motorists, there are steps you can take to encourage your teen to drive safely. In addition to leading by example and speaking with your teen about safe driving etiquette, you can install one of the following smartphone apps on your child’s phone to encourage responsible behavior:

  1. Canary;
  2. AT&T Drive Mode;
  3. Autobrain;
  4. Drive Alive Lite; or
  5. Hum by Verizon.

Unfortunately, even the most diligent teens can fall victim to distracted, drunk, or negligent drivers. If you or your child was injured in a crash that another motorist caused, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers.

A Marksville auto accident attorney will investigate the collision, gather evidence, and help you fight for the maximum settlement. If your case goes to trial, we have the litigation experience to represent you in court. Schedule a free initial consultation today by calling 800-522-6733.

Read on to learn more about five safe-driving apps for teens:

  1. Canary

Do you think your teen breaks the speed limit, texts while driving, or violates curfew? Canary can answer this question and allow you to monitor your child’s activity behind the wheel.

  1. AT&T Drive Mode

This free smartphone app will help your child avoid one of the primary causes of teenage accidents: texting while driving. AT&T Drive Mode will deactivate text message notifications when it senses that the vehicle is in motion. You will receive an alert if your child turns off the app.

  1. Autobrain

Autobrain tracks your teen’s speed, location, and other data. It plugs directly into the vehicle’s diagnostic port.

  1. Drive Alive Lite

If you do not feel comfortable tracking your teen’s activity, another approach is to install Drive Alive Lite to reward safe behavior. Your teen can earn cash or discounts for driving responsibly.

  1. Hum by Verizon

This is another app that tracks details about your child’s behavior on the road. You can review speed activity reports and set up boundary alerts.

Sadly, even if your teen follows traffic laws and abides by your personal rules, all it takes is one negligent driver to cause a tragedy. If your child was injured in a crash that another motorist caused, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers.
