Abstract:Data show that crash rates during teens’ pre-licensing, adult supervised driving practice are low, then increase about tenfold when young drivers begin to drive independently. In-vehicle technologies aim to continue this low-risk interval once teens begin driving on their own by providing feedback to drivers as well as to parents. Some of these devices provide feedback through video recording triggered by sensors indicating potentially unsafe driving while other devices provide feedback based just on sensors. Previous studies have shown that monitoring devices of both types reduce teens’ unsafe driving behaviors, particularly when parents were informed of their teens’ risky driving behavior. However, some parents have reported being hesitant to install monitoring devices, particularly those that include video, due to concerns about teens’ privacy and deterioration of trust. These studies found that feedback interventions reduced unsafe driving behaviors among teens compared to those without feedback under a variety of conditions. Teens receiving feedback had rates of unsafe driving ranging from 1/6 to 1/3 times the rates of those without feedback.
