Young driver motor insurance is costly, and when you’re not always in the car with your teenage driver, you might be having sleepless nights about their driving skills and habits. American Family Insurance, a leading carrier of young driver motor insurance, recently started offering parents car cameras they can install in order to keep an eye on their teen’s driving habits.
The camera, provided by DriveCam, is activated when the vehicle starts to swerve or brakes suddenly, and records what the driver is doing at that time. According to Steve Witmer, a spokesman for American Family Insurance, the DriveCam is proving to be very effective for young driver car insurance. Seatbelt usage increases to one hundred percent, and most new drivers quickly learn how to handle distractions safely.
The DriveCam is offered free of charge to policyholders and offers the added benefit of an impartial analyst viewing the video footage before involving parents. If the analyst thinks it’s important, both the parents and the teen are invited to discuss the footage and are encouraged to learn from it. Thanks to this smart system, teens don’t feel like their every move is being watched. Most feel they’re getting the guidance they need to become good drivers and keep their insurance rates down.
