What is DriveZebra.com?
 
DriveZebra.com is a service committed to helping keep your driving teenager safe and alive while on the road.  We offer a "How's my Driving?" program which can help reduce accidents and traffic fatalities for teens. Our Teen Driver Monitoring System is a way for you to help train your teen to be a better and safer driver.

Why should I join your program?

To help prevent you from experiencing the unimaginable grief of losing a child in a traffic accident.  Our program was created to reduce dangerous driving behavior and create good driving habits during your teen’s first years of driving (15 to 18 years of age).  The National Institute of Health’s research shows that the region of the brain that inhibits risky behavior is not fully formed until the age of 25. This means that most teenagers are more likely to take dangerous chances and participate in risky driving behavior while behind the wheel.  This type of behavior is what leads to tragic accidents and loss of life.  Knowing that they can be reported to you for poor or dangerous driving behavior, they are less likely to take such chances—they won’t want to face your consequences and lose their driving privileges.  Keeping your teen alive is our main goal, but reducing risky behavior can also mean less chance of traffic accidents and costly tickets.  This can allow you to keep your teen’s insurance premiums from skyrocketing.

How does your Teen Driver Monitoring System work?

Our one year Teen Driver Safety program is as easy as 1,2,3!
 
1)      You place our “How’s my driving?” decal on your teens car.  Our program works just like the service trucking companies use to reduce accidents and keep their truck drivers safe.  Each decal has a unique ID number.
 
2)      Drivers on the road can monitor your teen’s driving.  If it is observed that your teen is exhibiting poor or dangerous driving behavior, they can report it to you via our website.  Your teen will know that they can be reported to you at any time for any driving infraction.  This factor alone will likely have them taking fewer chances and being more attentive while they drive so they won’t be reported to you and face your wrath.  Therefore, most teens on our program will likely monitor their own driving behavior!
 
3)      If someone does file a Driver Incident Report, only you will receive the report.  You’ll receive this report immediately via email.  The Driver Incident Report will tell you what driving infractions were witnessed on what day, time, location, etc.  When you receive this report, you can deal directly with your teen. Wouldn’t you prefer this rather than being contacted by the police or paramedics?

In addition to the Monitoring program, you will receive a Safe Driver Basics guide to sit down and review with your teen.  This guide contains driving fundamentals that could very well save their life.  You’ll also receive a Parent/Teen contract in which your teen will agree to be on the program for one year, drive safely and adhere to traffic safety rules, in exchange for the privilege of driving.
 
What does your decal look like?
 
To view the decal, click here.  Our decal is very easy to read and is also night reflective, which means it shows up brightly lit when hit with headlights at night.  Most bumper stickers are small and difficult to read.  Our decal is larger (6 x 10 inches) which makes it very easy to read.
 
Don’t Driver Education classes help reduce teen accidents?

Driver Education classes are a great way for your teen to learn the fundamentals of driving. We highly recommend these classes. Since your teen will still have a physiological inability to control risk and little driving experience, our "How's my driving?" program can help keep your teen safe after they complete their Driver Education instruction. Our program, coupled with formal training, can exponentially increase your teen's chances of staying safe and potentially reduce their chances of auto accidents and tickets.


My teen is a good/smart kid. I trust him/her. Why would I need this service?

The National Institute of Health reports that the part of a person's brain that controls risk is not fully developed until about the age of 25. This means that even 'good' or 'smart' or 'trustworthy' teens can still take dangerous and unnecessary risks on the road. They physiologically do not possess the ability to understand the consequences of their actions. It is a good thing to trust your teen, but he or she is still very capable of taking dangerous chances that can lead to tragedy on the road.


What if my teen is too embarrassed to have this decal on their car?

Although it will likely not be 'cool' to have our "How's my Driving?" decal on their car, keep in mind our program is designed to keep your teen safe and alive during their first years of driving. You as the parent make the decision to keep them safe. We recommend that you reward your teen at the end of our one-year program by taking the decal off and showing them your appreciation for cooperating. You can buy them a set of rims or reward them in some other way.


Is my or my teen’s personal information accessible on your website?

Absolutely not!  When someone files a report on our website, the only thing they’ll see is a blank Incident Report page.   They will never know who you are or anything else about you.  They simply fill out a Driver Incident Report at our website and include the ID number from your teen’s decal.  When the incident report is submitted, we’ll email you the information immediately so you can help your teen modify their driving behavior.
