Teen drivers are some of the most "at risk" drivers on the road. With their inexperience and often careless actions, many of them end up in fatal accidents or they get injured. But one woman has an idea that may help teen drivers stay safe and you are part of the solution.
The idea behind the Tell-On-Me.com program is to be an extra set of eyes for parents when they cannot watch their teen driver on the roads. Parents can join the program and receive a bumper sticker that they can put on the car that their teen drives. The sticker has a phone number on it and asks other drivers to call the number and report the vehicle if the driver is being careless or reckless. The parents can then log on to the website and see if their teen driver has been reported.
The program costs $50 a year and that covers the cost of the bumper sticker and the program’s answering service.
Your Pennsylvania area GMC dealer wants to know how you feel about this program. Does it invade on your teen’s privacy or is it a clever way to keep them alive when they are behind the wheel?

Who cares about this invading on the childs privacy if it saves there life or the lives of innocent people. How many other teens and others are killed by other teen drivers each year. I have heard my grandson talk about someone he was riding with driving wreckless, but my grandson was afraid to say anything to the driver. This would give them a way to call attention to this without the friend knowing.Even if my grandson does not get back in the car with this teen it could save someone else. Invasion of privacy – Small price to pay for a life I would say.
