Installing a GPS tracking system in your car is one way of knowing where your teenager is going and whether they are driving safely when they use the car. I am not quite sure how I feel about installing GPS tracking equipment in your car in order to keep track of your child’s driving and whereabouts. Having spent many nights worrying about my teenager's safety when they were out driving my car, I can understand the level of comfort you may get knowing where your children are going and how well they are driving. However, understand that this feeling of comfort comes at a price, and the price is a portion of the trust that you have built between you and your child.
Do you choose to tell your child about the system or not? Just knowing that the system has been installed may deter some children from engaging in unsafe activities in the vehicle or from going to places other then where they told you they were going. By not telling them, you may get a more accurate picture of what your child is doing when you are not around. It is important to understand that if you don't tell them about it and then use this information to discipline them, you will erase any trust that the two of you have built. Tough call. You know each of your children best, use this knowledge when making your decision about the installation of a GPS tracking system.
