Has your kid recently obtained a driving license? Now you are probably constantly
worried if she or he is driving safely. And you also wonder where they go. There
is a little piece of modern technology that can help parents who are worried about
whereabouts of their children - it is called GPS tracking system.

With GPS tracking you can reasonably accurately know where your son's or daughter's
car is at any given time.


GPS tracking system benefits for you:



Knowing the location of your children
Monitoring your kids driving skills and habits
Easy to find a car if it has been stolen
Safety of your teenage kids

GPS tracking system is important for your kid's safety


We all know that young drivers are often at risk. They are less experienced
and more arrogant than those who have been driving for many years. Teenagers
are more likely to take unnecessary risks and drive at high speed. But luckily
for you, you can monitor their speed too. GPS tracking systems offer speed monitoring.
So you will always know if your kids don't obey the road rules.


Also if their car breaks down or there is an accident, GPS system will tell
you straight away. Even if your child has no idea where he or she is, GPS tracking
will give you an accurate location. You receive the data from the tracking system
to your home computer or even mobile phone in real time.


Knowing where your kids are


And of course, the main function of GPS tracking system is to tell you the
exact location of your child's car. So if, for example, you don't want them
to drive certain busy and dangerous roads or go to certain places, you will
know if they go there or not. This way he or she can't say that they go to the
city library to study, but go to a party instead.


GPS tracking installation


Most systems are small and easy to install. They are only about a size of your
TV remote control and are usually powered by batteries that need to be changed
about once a month. The technology itself is free and is controlled by US government,
so there will be no monthly fees. You only pay for the hardware and the software
once. Tracking devices are not cheap - a good one will cost you 400-500 dollars.
However, when you think that you are really investing in the safety of your
family, it is a small price to pay.


Should you tell your kids that there is a tracking device in their car or not?
Tracking other people cars without the knowledge of the owner is illegal, but
that doesn't apply to parents tracking their kids. So it is really up to you.
However, it might be a good idea to tell your teens that you are installing
a tracking device for their safety. If you install it secretly and than your
son or daughter finds out that he or she has been tracked, they will never believe
it is for their own good.
