Parenting is tough! And it doesn\u2019t get any easier when your kids become teenagers. Those teenagers will gradually pursue independence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Such independence could translate into many newly-acquired habits, including driving. That\u2019s why it\u2019s vital to develop a strong sense of trust between you and your teen driver.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you are still reluctant about handing the keys to your teenager, let us show you the 5 best apps to encourage your teenager to drive safely.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s just about time for technology to enhance your teen\u2019s safety.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

TrueMotion Family <\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once you get access to this app, you\u2019ll be able to track and monitor your teen\u2019s driving. You will be able to tell whether your teen drives safely and where they are going to.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You could even customize their route, how they need to drive, and the time they need to get back home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s even a chance for you to test and point out any improvement over time. The app offers a rank in which 100 points results in distinction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If your teenager makes any mistake during their drive, you\u2019ll receive an alert on your phone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

DriveSmart<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This app encourages teenagers to focus on driving as their primary task. Distracted driving causes a large number of accidents in the US and teen drivers aren\u2019t immune to it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Your teenager will need to download the app to activate it. Upon performance, the app starts advising on safety driving and points out the need to buckle up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s also a virtual evaluation in which your child will need to perform in each category successfully. Of course, a low score means your teen needs to improve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You could also schedule monthly challenges to get more feedback on what your child needs to do to be a better driver.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

AT&T DriveMode<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With an \u201cIt Can Wait\u201d slogan, AT&T launched an app that raises awareness against distracted driving.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Any attempt to reach your teenager via text messages will be silenced until they reach their destination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If your child plans on turning off the app or the safety features, you will get an immediate notification.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Drivesafe.ly Pro<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This another modern app that attacks distracted driving in a similar fashion. Once your teenager receives a text, the app will read the message aloud and reply automatically.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s an improvement for parents who can\u2019t stop worrying about it. Give it a try and see how the app performs the voice feature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You could sign up for a monthly or annual plan. Or get a family package to monitor other drivers in your household.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Toyota Safe & Sound<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Use this app to radically cut any interaction between your teen driver and the outside world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once your teen starts driving, the app puts their phone in \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d mode. The young driver will not be able to notice any text coming their way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The phone mutes blocking any text or incoming calls until the driver reaches their destination. Toyota Safe & Sound also monitors performance and alerts driver about any mistake while driving.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is an app that suits the brand but you could use it in any other vehicle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Do you know any other app that could protect teenagers while driving? Please let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
