How It Works
Through a six-step process, the Teen Safe Driver Program SM helps turn risky driving behaviors into safe on-road practices.
1. Capturing Data
A small device placed behind the rearview mirror captures both an interior and exterior view of your teen’s vehicle. When the auto experiences an erratic movement – extreme braking, sharp cornering, sudden acceleration or a collision, for example – the recorder captures the ten seconds before and after the incident.

2. Sending It In
The 20 seconds of video that make up this “event” are transferred wirelessly to DriveCam’s Event Analysis Center.
3. Analyzing the Information
The video is analyzed and scored by trained professionals who add valuable tips for preventing similar incidents.
4. Communicating with Participants
Parents and teens then log in to a secure website to view this data. Parents also receive a weekly driver report card showing their teen’s performance compared to their peers.
5. Offering Coaching Tips
The reports enable moms and dads to praise safe driving practices and coach their sons and daughters on specific problem areas.
6. Returning to the Road a Safer Driver
Teens participating in the program have demonstrated remarkable improvement in their driving habits. For examples, see our Proven Results.
