HoltI read an interesting article earlier this week on a product that will monitor a (teen) driver’s speed and send a text message alert to his parents if he goes over the speed limit.

The product, called Teen Driver Support System, uses GPS on the teen’s cell phone to monitor the speed of the car.

It looks like the service is not quite ready for mass market use (it’s currently available only through a University of Minnesota program) but it is another way that parents are leveraging GPS technology when it comes to keeping an eye on their kids. (see our previous post on GPS tracking devices for kids)

I know that when my kids are old enough to drive, I might be interested in something like this. What about you? Also, the question remains, how do you get them to use it while they’re driving?
