Hello,

Thanks for the comments.

Parents are paying thousands of dollars in insurance premiums for teen drivers, then penalized twice or three times that amount when their teen gets into an accident. Statistically this amounts to 1 in 4 teens in the first year of driving.

With Lemur Autovision, parents now have a comparatively inexpensive ($99) means to record 3 specific metrics associated with causes of most teen traffic collisions. That is speeding, inexperience and driver distraction,

Actively reviewing the data from each trip with their teens, parents have an idea how well their kids are driving and can be engaged in the process. Otherwise, they have no idea.

I’m really not seeing how this will make us drive safer! Even going back and reviewing the information afterwards – unless you have some kind of video taped “play by play” so that you can recognize situations that cause you to drive badly – this sounds like a gadget to me. Doesn’t mean I don’t want one – just not sure it’ll make me drive safer!
