We’ve never met a parent who isn’t nervous about their teenager reaching driving age. And their fears are legitimate. The CDC reports that:
- Teens are more likely than older drivers to speed.
- Teens are least likely to wear seat belts.
- Teens are most likely to crash during the first few months of licensure.
- The presence of passengers increases the risk of teen driving accidents.
That’s why researchers at the University of Minnesota have spent the last ten years developing a smartphone app that could help keep your teen driver safe on the road.
