Evaluation of Web-Based Driving Feedback for Teens and Their Parents
Motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of fatalities among teens in the United States. These fatalities are often attributed to lack of experience or insufficient training. While these attributions are often accurate, there may be ways to improve teen driver safety by providing feedback and incentives to teen drivers. For this study, data were collected in four phases across six months of data collection. Twenty-five participants were recruited to participate; however, due to technical issues with data collection, data were only collected from 15 participants. The driving performance data that were collected (e.g., hard braking, speeding, and seat belt use) did not show improvement with feedback and incentives, but participants self-reported that they were more conscientious about following speed limits and monitoring their speeding behavior. While this study was unable to monitor speeding in reference to speed limit, these results suggest that teen drivers may slow down and be more mindful of speeding if it results in monetary incentives. Although the findings of this study are not generalizable due to the small sample size, monitoring and feedback for teen drivers continues to show promise as a useful and effective countermeasure to improve teen driving safety
