Hi;
My daughter will be driving soon and I want to be able to monitor her
driving when I am not in the car. Some may say it is spying, but I
have made my mind up and I want to do it. My daughter is all for it as
well. She knows it will be in the car, and as a result, it will keep
her accountable.
I am looking for a gps system that will tell me speeds and where she
has driven. Most will also alert of jack rabbit starts and sudden
stops along with excessive g-forces during turns (Taking turns too
fast). I want all of this, but I also want a camera in the car mounted
on the rear-view mirror. I want to monitor how many friends she has in
the car at a given time and make sure she is focused on driving and
not her friends or the radio or texting or applying make-up or what
ever else kids may do while driving. I am hoping for a camera that
will take a snap shot of the interior of the vehicle say every 30
seconds and upload them to a website where I can monitor from any
internet connection.
If any of you are familiar with any of these teen driver monitors, I
would appreciate and recommendations.
If she is just beginning to drive, I wouldn't allow any other kids in
the car and would be with her enough to be sure she can handle the
unexpected. One of my children wasn't allowed a license until she was
18, about 10 years too soon :o) I read about kids being killed all the
time, much too young for the time of night and distance from home where
they have accidents. I'm a retired nurse, so worried about driving from
the time my children were born. Trust but verify - know where they will
be, and then check occ. I made a practice of knowing the parents of my
children's friends; when I didn't keep to my own rule, it was worrisome
on occasion. I also told my kids that if they had a ride, and the
driver was drinking, that I would go ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME to pick them
up so they didn't ride with someone under the influence.- Hide quoted text -

What does your occupation have to do with it?

Do we bankers/waitresses/plumbers/ministers/actors/football players/
teachers/etc/etc not worry about our children?

I didn't imply that others worry less.

You probably haven't given CPR to a nineteen year-old with a crushed chest and a compound fracture of a leg. Or seen a baby thrown through a windshield. Or a newlywed with 90% third degree burns. Or someone with brain tissue running out their nose. Or a face smashed in by running into the rear end of a semi. My children's high school had a memorial page almost every year. I kept mental note when I worked in the OR, and about half of the victims that came to OR were involved in accidents with drunks. Drunks tended to be the less severely injured.
