Using A Teen Driving App Before Hitting The Road

By Robert Ward


It is quite common to see teenagers today using mobile devices like smartphones and computer tablets. They rely on these gadgets to give them instant access to the Internet and websites like Facebook and Twitter. Many schools also now use smart devices instead of textbooks to teach students their lessons in the classroom. Teens are so used to having instant information at their fingertips that they may learn best how to drive by downloading a teen driving app to their phones or tablets. They can use this application to teach them everything they need to know about driving on today's roadways in a safe and responsible manner.

One of the most basic of lessons that teens learn involves learning how to recognize the various traffic signs. The roadways are filled with all kinds of signs that mean different things. To drive safely, teenagers must learn what the signs mean and what they are telling drivers to do.

The application that teenagers can download to their phones or tablets will have a description of each sign and where that sign may be found most often on the roadways. For example, there are subtle differences between a pedestrian sign and a school crosswalk sign. New drivers can use the application to discern those differences and also learn where those signs will be found in their city.

This application also teaches kids about local, state, and federal speeds. The federal speed limit in most places is 70 to 75 miles per hour on the highway or interstate. Some states, however, require that drivers slow down to 65 miles per hour. Cities implement much slower speeds, as low as 30 miles per hour or even slower, on city roads.

If they cannot keep the speeds straight in their minds or they fail to notice the posted speed signs, teenagers can refer to their phones or tablets when they are not behind the wheel of the car. They may refer to this information to remind themselves of how fast they can drive. They may also have it on hand to refer to before they take their licensing exam.

They may need help remembering how to maneuver a car on snow and ice. Teens sometimes panic when their cars go into a skid or into a spin on icy roads. They fail to recall safety lessons they learned in driver's education classes.

Applications can remind them to slow down, tap the brakes, and steer gently in the direction of the spin or skid. These precautions can bring them out of the spin and back onto the main part of a road. It could also keep their cars intact and without the damage caused by sliding off into a ditch or hitting another driver.

Many teens are eager to become licensed drivers. They can be the best drivers possible by taking lessons that may be found on an app offered by their state's department of motor vehicles. This application could be downloaded to their phone or tablet. They might refer to it to learn what they need to know before driving or taking their license exam.
