Safe Teen Driver Homepage

Our Mission:

Safe Teen Driver Online provides parents with peace of mind that the community is watching after their new driver. Teens are held accountable for their actions so they become safe and responsible drivers.

The Register-Guard has an article on us: New business allows parents to hear about their kids' driving habits, By Randi Bjornstad

About the Program:

You sat by the side of your new teen driver during their permit period. Now they are a licensed driver out there alone. They don't have to be alone with a window sticker from Safe Teen Driver Online. Your sticker with a personal identification number asks, "Am I Driving Safely? Email my parents at safeteendriveronline.com." Patrons of the road can report positive or negative behavior of your teen driver directly and confidentially to you via email. This allows you to help correct potentially dangerous driving habits before your teen is issued a costly, insurance-increasing ticket, or worse yet, causes an accident.

Below is an actual email report which has been edited (♦♦♦♦♦♦) to protect driver privacy.
