Non-profit Organization Offers Free Teen Driving Bumper Stickers
When your teenage driver gets behind the wheel of a car, you want to make sure everything goes right. You want insurance that they won't have too many friends in the car or otherwise act reckless. What if there was a way you could have that extra insurance without paying out more for your teen driver?
Luckily for parents, there is a way to get that insurance: by asking every driver your teen comes in contact with on the road to be an extra set of eyes when you can't be there. Debbie Swartz, creator of 1-866-4-R-TEENS bumper stickers, has the answer you are looking for. Debbie, a mom with teenage drivers, started this non-profit organization in order to offer bumper stickers free of charge for any parent wishing to keep an extra eye on their teen's driving.
Much like the "How's my driving?" bumper stickers we see on so many tractor trailer trucks today, the bumper sticker for teen drivers displays the same message, along with a phone number and 4-digit vehicle code for callers to report reckless driving as well as contentious teen drivers. Besides offering other drivers a way to keep parents informed of a teenager's driving skills, the bumper sticker also alerts law enforcement that the person behind the wheel is someone's inexperienced teenage son or daughter.
With so many ways to monitor drivers today, the free service Debbie's 1-866-4-R-TEENS program offers can be a valuable tool for many parents looking for a reason to feel their child is being safe on the road. The bumper stickers give parents a feeling of relief and also may influence the teen behind the wheel as well. If a caller reports a teen's erratic driving behavior a written report is immediately sent to the parent, allowing the parent to address the behavior before it becomes a serious problem.
The hope behind the website and bumper sticker program is to not only fill a need for parents to feel safer letting their teen on the road alone, but to also make teens more aware that they are being watched. The teen driver's behavior on the road could earn them the possibility of having the keys taken away or extra praise from mom and dad without them ever having to ride along with them. The need for the website and its program helps parents answer the ever-popular question by parents, "I wonder if my teen driver is okay on the road".
