Remember the old show “Candid Camera?” A person would be set up to walk into an unusual situation and be recorded without being aware. At some point, someone would pop out and tell them to smile because they were one “Candid Camera.”
One Alabama teenager was not smiling after he found out that his parents had teamed up with a local tv news station to track his driving habits using a GPS tracking device. The tv station paid for the tracking device and the young man’s parents agreed to put it on his truck without telling him. The parents were fairly confident that their son was following the rules of the road. At the same time they said that they were not the kind of parents who would say “my child would never do this or that.”
When they saw the information recorded from the GPS tracking device they learned that they were right not to assume they knew everything about their son’s driving habits.
While he did not have an exhibit continuously reckless driving habits there were a couple of red flags. According to information from the tracking device, he drove at 95 miles an hour once. He also stopped at a location that was unrecognizable to his parents.
Certainly, everyone will not be able to work with a tv news station to get a tracking device. Rocky Mountain Tracking (RMT) has GPS tracking devices available that you can use if you are concerned about your teenager’s driving habits. They are affordable and easy to use. RMT provides comprehensive customer support for its teen tracking devices and all of its other products.
