Summary

This study tested whether an in-vehicle device that gives real-time feedback on driving, plus optional parent communication training, can reduce risky driving and traffic violations among teens who recently got a moving violation. 240 teens aged 16-17 with a valid Ohio license and access to a compatible car and smartphone took part. The device tracked hard braking, speeding, and other unsafe behaviors.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help reduce car crashes and traffic violations among high-risk teen drivers.
