subject: Parents Of A New Young Driver Can Use Gps Vehicle Tracking For Peace Of Mind [print this page] Using the new vehicle tracking satellite technology may not be immediately obvious but it could bring peace of mind to private citizens and not only be useful in commercial situations.
There are a number of scenarios that spring to mind. Take road accidents. The highest numbers of deaths from traffic accidents in many parts of the world are among those aged 20 to 25. The combination of speed, the vehicle's power and the newly-won independence of passing the driving test can be lethal.
How often do parents worry quietly but hesitate to make a fuss when their children first take to the road? While a daughter going out at night may be safer from unwanted attention or attack by being able to travel door to door by car there is the same worry about the possibility of an accident.
Then there are the elderly parents, perhaps living in a rural village, where the lighting is not good and the roads are narrower and not in good condition. People in rural locations where there is often inadequate public transport or none, especially at night, are a great deal more dependent on a car, so there is not only the worry of accidents but also of vehicle theft and the inconvenience of being stranded.
Perhaps a family's pride and joy is a luxury car that they have saved for and finally achieved the dream of owning. It would be devastating if it were stolen.
