Parents are using apps to track their teen drivers.RoadReady, SafeDrive, Verizon’s Hum, State Farm’s Safe & Save, and most notably Life360 are just some of the apps that parents are using to see if their children are arriving to destinations safely, are texting while driving, or breaking any traffic laws. The apps report driving speeds, hard braking, and phone usage, and report accidents, allowing parents to back seat drive, even when they’re not in the car. But the tracking can backfire: because some of the apps work two-ways, kids are discovering their parents’ secretly bad driving habits. (WSJ)
