Safety technology aimed at teenage drivers is growing in accuracy and variety, and Newschannel Three recently teamed up with the Berning Family from Emmett, Michigan, to seehow accurate a GPS tracking system was when it came to checking in on their teenage son, Jordan.

"I'm surprised at the detail of the map when you bring it up," Gary Berning, a local father, told the news publication. "And you actually see the car moving down the road. He's going down Nine Mile Road right now and he's going 55 miles per hour, which is the speed limit there."

The news team reported that Jordan was given a GPS system for his car, but was not told that his parents could see exactly what he was up to until a few days later. He told reporters that he thought it would really help curb his friends' reckless driving habits.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that teenage drivers are four times more likely to get into an accident. Aside from monitoring their kids' driving behavior, parents may want to consider purchasing car warranties that can cover the cost in the event that the car needs work.
