While there is a range of smartphone apps that you can install, the majority of apps that parents with teen drivers use address speeding and concerns about distracted driving.<\/p>\n<p>Once installed on your teen\u2019s smartphone, the apps will automatically initiate once a specific set of conditions are met. For example, some teen driving apps will turn on once it senses that it is moving to a particular speed.<\/p>\n<p>There are also apps that initiate if the phone is near another sensor that you place in your car.<\/p>\n<p>Parents and guardians can monitor the app\u2019s behavior because the teen driving app is linked to another device, and parents can receive notifications if rules of the road are disobeyed or other actions are taken by your teen while driving.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Prevent Speeding<\/h3>\n<p>Speeding is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topdriver.com\/education-blog\/common-driving-violations\/\">most common driving violations among teenagers<\/a>, especially on highways.

Reduce Distracted Driving<\/h3>\n<p>As smartphones continue to become synonymous with text messages, Tweets, and Instagram likes, teens are involved in accidents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teensafe.com\/blog\/teens-and-distracted-driving-facts-and-statistics\/\">due to distracted driving at an alarming rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Statistically, teenage drivers are more likely to make driving errors than more experienced drivers, and this rate of accidents go up when teenagers are distracted at the wheel.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"840\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KojlJ2tfLMM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While parents are not able to monitor everything that their teens do throughout the day, you can use a smartphone app like <a href=\"https:\/\/gotruemotion.com\/app\/\">TrueMotion Family<\/a> to know when your teenage driver is using their phone while at the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will you be able to monitor when your teens use their phones on the road, but you can also set up a system of rewards for safe driving through this innovative safety app for teen drivers.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"840\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2U-tN5o4Fm0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you have tried other solutions but require more strict controls over your teen\u2019s use of their smartphone while driving, then you can look to an app like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cellcontrol.com\/\">Cell Control<\/a>. Unlike other solutions, Cell Control is a small device mounted in your teen driver\u2019s car.<\/p>\n<p>This device can be programmed to limit what a smartphone device can do while the vehicle is traveling at specific speeds. This means that you can disable social media apps and mobile games while the car is in motion.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"840\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CxECRbU9x5s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can also opt for a more passive app on your teen\u2019s phone like <a href=\"https:\/\/about.att.com\/sites\/it_can_wait_drivemode\">AT&amp;T DriverMode<\/a>. This app turns on once it recognizes that your teen\u2019s phone is traveling at a specific speed, and once initiated it will silence alerts and send automated responses to text messages and calls that your teen is driving. You can customize the answers to let them know that the driver will reply once they reach their destination.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Reward Positive Driver Behavior<\/h3>\n<p>Most of the apps that are on the market are meant to help parents of teenage drivers with notifications and other methods to prevent dangerous driving behavior. However, there are also several apps that you can install on your teen\u2019s smartphone to reward positive behavior.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"840\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/smOvFtQjoGA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to reward your teen driver for performing proper driving, then you can use an app like <a href=\"https:\/\/lifesaver-app.com\/\">Lifesaver<\/a>.

Like fitness apps, this smartphone app allows drivers to invite their friends and families to compete for prizes that they earn through safe driving practices.<\/p>\n<p>Good driving habits can be tracked in a group, and the company is growing partnerships with companies so drivers can be entered into drawings for real-world prizes.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great way to incentivize good driving, and make safe driving a \u201ccool\u201d thing among family and friends to help your teen drivers learn driving practices to keep them safe!<\/p>\n<h2>Improve Road Safety With Apps For Your Teen Driver!<\/h2>\n<p>Since you worry about your teen driving, you can tap into the power of free (or some paid) apps for parents who have teenage drivers.
