Tracking Teen Drivers new From Verizon

[soapy]

I read a thread a few weeks ago about keeping up with your teenage drivers. I'm sorry, I couldn't find the durn thread.  Beat me. Disclaimer.  I don't have squat to do with verizon, and take note that there are other models that do some sort of the same thing.   I saw the ad on TV last night and though one of your paranoid middle agers might be interested.  I don't have any kids, and I could care less. Drown em all I say.  I'm just kidden.  Here.

Edit:  I used to be high tech, but I still use a flip phone, and if you want to text me you are SOL.  Bell made the phone for talkin.  Now I saw something on the news last night bout sexting. Is it time to upgrade? ;)

Nothing new, Verizon decided to buy a load of boxes that plug into the diagnostic port of the vehicle. It works until the user unplugs it... Cal amp made a ton of those devices which didn't do well because adult Driver's would disconnect them at will. Best way to go w a kids car is to hard wire one in where they can't reach it. Geofencing and speed monitoring are standard with 99% of the service providers.... Thanks for the read. Edited April 20, 2016 by Dustbuster
