Many teenagers use their cell phones throughout the day, and unfortunately, even while driving. However, while texting and driving can result in serious and catastrophic accidents, there are some benefits to certain apps available for cell phones that may give parents of teenagers comfort while their children are driving a car. The following are some types of cell phone apps that can help encourage your teenage drivers to operate a motor vehicle safely, as well as provide some level of comfort regarding their whereabouts and driving habits.

This app is more like a game, and incentivizes users to use good driving habits by rewarding safe behavior. Teenagers can “compete” with other friends and drivers to have higher scores for safe driving. This free app turns driving safety into a game that gives rewards for safe driving.
