It seems a big reason that customers buy car trackers is as a safety device for their teenage drivers in the household.
Contrary to initial concern, (and similar to the use of Personal tracking devices ) there is actually very little resistance by teens when presented with the idea of putting a vehicle tracker on their car.
If worded correctly, it is not seen as a way of restricting their freedom, but enhancing it. Being able to see and assess the driving patterns and behaviour of your young driver is usually the peace of mind that allows parents to grant more freedom and driving flexibility.
The concern of having a child out on the open road is not unfounded. A fifth of deaths on the road is the result of drivers under the age of 24. What's more, the risk of a teenager dying in a car crash doubles when they have a friend in the car.
A car tracker allows parents to be proactive in monitoring the vehicle use by their teens. Without breaching trust barriers, you can see the speed and distance that the young driver is covering.
A car tracker will also act as a thorough anti-theft device for any vehicle in general. You are able to set up Geofences, and motion sensors ensuring you are alerted to any unauthorised movement of your vehicle.
There are several options and types of vehicle trackers that you can choose from. If you are keeping the device in the vehicle full time, you can opt for a wired to vehicle tracker , which will run off of the battery of the vehicle. This means that it will never need charging, and can stay in the vehicle full time.
An alternative to this is our range of magnetic GPS trackers . The benefit of these is that it gives you the flexibility to attach and detach to different assets in seconds.
Therefore, if you have several vehicles that are used at different times you can transfer a tracker over when needed. For example, if you have a caravan or a trailer that you are lending or hiring out, you can remove your tracker on the vehicle, and place it on the other asset. You can then track its whereabouts in real-time or review its location history.
For new drivers, the opportunity to prove themselves as responsible drivers in their parents eyes is welcomed. And the comfort from having a sense of control means parents can rest a bit more easily when their kids head out the door for any journeys.
