Tiwi Claims to Make Teenage Drivers Safer | Manassas Personal Injury Attorney
According to the CDC motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States. Some of the car accidents involving teenage drivers may be due to lack of driving experience, but all too common, teenage drivers often do not take the privilege of driving seriously or fall to peer pressure and drive in an unsafe manner. To help reduce the number of teenagers dying in car accidents, many driving monitoring devices have flooded the market promising to assist parents with monitoring their teenage child’s driving behavior and/or whereabouts.
A new driving monitoring device that claims that its use could reduce your “child’s chance of being in a crash by up to 62%” is called tiwi. In addition to tiwi operating as a GPS device so a parent can monitor where their teenager is located, it also monitors and records seatbelt usage, aggressive driving behavior, and speeding. Basically, this monitoring device will provide real-time verbal feedback to the driver to correct their driving behavior as well as real-time reporting to the parents of unsafe driving. Another interesting feature about the tiwi is that it can be used as a communication device as the driver may use it to call emergency services and the parent can call the unit to speak to the driver.
Since the tiwi device is in clear view on the windshield and can be clearly heard by all in the vehicle, the creators of tiwi believe that it will help teenage drivers avoid peer pressure to drive unsafely because they will have an excuse to follow the law and their parent’s rules. The tiwi will be watching!
