Helping teens avoid crashes and injuries

teenSMART® Teaches Skills Proven to Dramatically Reduce Crash Frequency and Severity.

teenSMART is a science-based driver training program designed to help young drivers develop the skills and behaviors needed to become safer drivers. The program covers a range of topics, including hazard recognition, space management, speed control, and risk reduction. It uses a variety of interactive activities, including simulations, videos, and classroom discussions, to engage and educate students.

Driver Technologies is a company that produces a dash cam app called Driver. The app uses advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence to analyze driving behavior and provide real-time feedback to help drivers improve their skills and reduce the risk of accidents.

In partnership, teenSMART and Driver Technologies aim to provide young drivers with a comprehensive training and feedback system that can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. According to a study by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation, teens who complete the teenSMART program are 28% less likely to be involved in a collision and up to 49% less likely to have a collision resulting in injury than teens who do not complete the program. Additionally, they have 51% fewer bodily injury claims.

By using Driver's technology to provide ongoing feedback, teenSMART graduates can continue to refine their driving skills and reduce their risk of accidents even after completing the program. This partnership offers a unique and practical approach to reducing the number of collisions involving young drivers and improving road safety for everyone.

Peace of Mind

When Your Teen Drives

We all know that teen drivers are more likely to be involved in crashes than experienced drivers. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), teen drivers are three times more likely than adults to be involved in a fatal crash. But teaching teens to drive responsibly can help reduce these collisions. teenSMART does just that!

teenSMART is an online teen driver program provided by ADEPT Driver that can help your teen become a better, safer driver. Our driver safety course is based on the latest research and provides teens with the skills they need to stay safe behind the wheel. As a parent, it's natural to worry about your teen driver. But with teenSMART, you can have peace of mind knowing that your teen is driving safely.

teenSMART is the best gift any parent could ever give their child! I enjoyed participating with my teen on all the modules, and I even learned how to improve my driving skills as well! teenSmart is a MUST!! — Plano,TX Parent

I absolutely loved the teenSMART driving program. As opposed to other outdated and unhelpful driving program, I felt that teenSMART was an actually an accurate depiction of what teenagers face on the road today. I also loved the hands-on virtual simulations, which really taught me real-life skills that I apply to my driving now.— A.C, Teen, Cherry Hill, NJ

Even if you think you are a pretty good driver, everyone could use a refresher course now and then! teenSMART definitely increased my confidence behind the wheel when it comes to safety!— JGN, Teen

Very helpful and explanatory easy to understand and not so boring like others here they just talk liked the simulations.— AW, Teen, Stockton

This was very helpful and I now use the skills I have learned from teenSMART.— AJ, Teen, Newfane, VT

I would recommend this teenSMART to some of my class mates so they are better on the road also.— RL, Teen, Kingsburg, CA

I thought that teenSMART was a really effective program. It was simple and engaging and really improved my confidence in the car.— JD, Teen, Corvallis, OR

Although nothing replaces years of experience in the safe driving world the teenSMART experience definitely gave my daughter a learning insight that would normally take at least a year or two of good driving experience she now has a positive heads up in her driving world thanks to teenSMART.— JS, Parent, Madison, FL

I have had the pleasure of going through the teenSMART program with my 17 year old daughter a few months ago. I have to say this was one of the best programs I have seen during my 26 year career as a Police Officer. There is no doubt that after a young driver takes your program that they will be a more aware and safety conscious driver. Yes we saved money on our car insurance, but there is no amount I can place on the safety of my daughter. My wife and I feel more confident in her abilities after watching her complete your program.— Chief Michael A. DeLorenzo, Berlin Police Department, Berlin, NJ

I really thought this was a great program for my teen. I loved the teen/parent activities! And I have to admit...it was a good refresher for me too!— AZ, Parent, Pflugerville, TX

Even though my teen carries a 4.0. GPA , they don't always listen to their parents. Thank you teenSMART!— LA, Parent, Santa Clarita, CA

Great suggestions for interaction and key driving practices.— JJ, Parent, Fullerton, CA

I think that my son will be a more careful and more alert driver due to the teensmart program. I am a driving instructor and wish that all of my students could complete this program.— MM, Parent, Hartfield, OH

My teen was a pretty good driver already. However, the teenSMART program raised his awareness of his own driving as well as the awareness that what he may take for granted is actually very important and affects others besides himself. I think he "respects" being on the road more. He was really engaged in each module and received personal encouragement from them, even though initially he agreed to do the program "for his parents." This was indeed a good experience.— PB, Parent, Baltimore, MD

The program was great and very well done. The simulations were great. The information was of the time and useful. I was VERY impressed.— MM, Parent, Forrest Hill, MD

We feel it was very great that he did the teenSMART, he got alot out of it, and so did we!— LS, Parent, Oakdale, CA

Knowing my teen driver has completed this course has eased my mind regarding how well he does when I'm not riding with him.— LB, Parent, Largo, FL

My teen at first didn't want to do the program, but when she completed it, said she thought it really helped her. She was fully engaged in the driving simulations, and I think ended up enjoying the program.— YR, Parent, South Glastonbury, CT

My 2nd child has completed teenSMART! The program brings additional awareness and confidence behind the wheel.— SA, Parent, CT

This was a very cool thing for us to do....it was fun and educational. He is doing very well driving. Thanks so much for offering it.— KR, Parent, Alliance, OH

Thanks for helping me become a safer driver. Now, when driving, I feel more confident in my abilities to judge gaps and hazardous situations.— SH, Teen, Smyrna, TN

This was an amazing program. Thank you for offering it to us. It was very well designed and thought out. My son definitely improved his driving skills.— DF, Parent, Lewisville, TX

My son was already a good, yet inexperienced, driver. Very conscious of what was going on around him. After completing this course he has become even more aware of what's going on around him. Most people can get "tunnel vision" while driving so I believe this course made him realize there is more going on than what's immediately in front of and behind him. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone.— TS, Parent, Marietta, GA

This was an amazing program. Extremely well done. Worth every penny!— PT, Parent, Shelbey Township, MI

My husband and I enjoyed completing this program with our son. It reinforces all of the same rules, guidelines and techniques we are trying to teach him, so he is hearing it from more than just us. We will definitely use teenSMART with our two younger sons when they learn to drive.— LA, Parent, Fountain Valley, CA

There is a large difference in parent taught drivers and teenSMART taught drivers. They have become numb to our advice, whereas teenSMART creates a sense of urgency. Thanks!— MR, Parent, Jones, OK

This is our second teen to utilize teenSMART. It gets us a fantastic discount with our insurance company but more importantly, It taught both kids things they did not learn from their driver's manual or from our teaching while driving. We appreciate the videos and feedback which really emphasized what the kids need to be paying attention to when they drive.— CN, Parent, San Jose, CA

This course reinforced the importance of safe driving to my son, who just got his license. He took away some key points that I hope will keep him safe as he builds on his independent driving experience. A win-win, as Mom will save some money on insurance as well.— SK, Parent, Bedford, IN

teenSMART was not only a great tool for my son, but my wife and I also found very useful information that was beneficial to us. The Insurance discount was a great benefit!— DR, Parent, Noblesville, IN

teenSmart is an excellent program to create situational awareness for a young driver. It is a wonderful learning tool and I had both of my teenage sons use the program. I am very pleased with it and confident my sons are better prepared to be safer on the road.— DM, Parent, Anthem, AZ

This is a well done program and does not come across as condescending toward the teen or adult. The driving simulations are a great tool for both new and experienced drivers and gives us an opportunity to point out to our new driver the issues she’ll face every day from slow to fast drivers, pedestrians, oncoming traffic, entrance/exits to business, buses taking up the view, etc. Basic and advanced topics were at the right pace to keep the teen interested and on task. There should be a refresher program for experienced drivers.— RAW, Parent, Tucson, AZ

The best in customer service. My teen was able to quote statistics- wow!— CB, Parent, Tewksbury, MA

The insurance discount was a minor factor, getting my teen to improve his driving skills, and risk reduction were the primary factors.— PC, Parent, Safford, AZ

I was left feeling more confident in my child’s driving after this course. Having the chance to take the course with him gave me a chance to reflect with him on my own driving experiences to help my son.— GR, Parent, Jacksonville, FL

teenSMART served as a positive reinforcement of the tips and training we gave to our daughter during her permit driving time. She has proven to be very alert and cautious and teenSMART has reiterated that practicing caution is living with wisdom.— PH, Parent, Windyville, MO

This program helped my teen be more aware and it also has made her realize about the things going on in environment around her.— MJ, Parent, Wellington, NV

This program was great for my teen as well as my older teen that completed this program. The other day my teen was driving ,came upon a situation,and quoted something that he learned in the program. That shows me the program was well worth it. I already have recommended this program to a couple of my co-workers.— JF, Parent, Tremont, IL

Great program. Really helps new drivers to think about so many things that can come up. Love the interactive driving examples and worksheets.— MH, Parent, Buckeye, AZ

teenSMART video clips made it easy to follow along and interactive for my student. Young Adults these days have a very short attention span and teenSMART made "fun" for my teen who enjoyed it.— SL, Parent, Littleton, CO

I learned a lot more stuff than what my driver's ed course taught me! I was able to get my licenses with just my Driver's ed completion ticket but now I feel safer and more knowledgable by going through teenSMART! The stimulators were very life like and made me feel like I was in a real car especially when it was time sensitive!— KD, Teen, Copeland, KS

The course was both very entertaining and very informative, and I feel like a much better and more prepared driver after completing it.— HH, Teen, El Dorado Hills, CA

The program was interesting and I ended up having fun completing it which was not what I was expecting. The simulations were also great and I enjoyed them a lot.— SS, Teen, Tubac, AZ

It's a really great program that made me feel safer driving.— AZ, Teen, Los Angeles, CA

This program was super helpful in making me a safer driver!!— ER, Teen, Moraga, CA

All my children are teenSMART certified and are much better drivers now. None of them have been involved in an accident. teenSMART is an excellent program and I always recommend it to friends who have kids learning to drive.— ML, Parent, Piedmont, CA

We enjoyed the program. The time spent behind the wheel was invaluable and created the opportunity for some good communication. We are happy we chose to participate.— Pat N., Parent, Mundelein, IL

teenSMART was as meaningful for our 16-year-old as it was for our 18-year-old, if not more so. We have recommended it to our daughter's prep school parent group. Thank you for developing a program which will make our roads safer for everyone.— Richard M., Parent, Tampa, FL

This was an excellent course. It reinforced past lessons and introduced new topics that were pertinent to any new driver. I also enjoyed the time spent with my son, both driving and watching the videos. I actually learned a few new tricks and re-learned some old ones. Thanks so much.— Mark H., Parent, Oakdale, CA

Great tool for helping me become a better driver; would like to commend you on a great program. Also, I think it is great that insurance companies realize how much this helps young drivers and encourage them to use a great program like this.— Joel G., Teen, Windsor, CO

Just wanted you to know how wonderful teenSMART has been for me and my parents. Thank you so much for offering this great program to young and inexperienced drivers like myself.— Jason C., Teen, Deland, FL

When I discovered and reviewed teenSMART, I made it a mandatory learning component to my kids' driver training. As a former California Highway Patrol officer, I have investigated thousands of traffic collisions. Driver error was a major component in the cause of the collisions. teenSMART has a verified record of reducing those errors that cause traffic collisions. It is incomprehensible why any parent would not demand that teenSMART be a part of a teen's driver training.— Brian L., Parent, Elk Grove, CA

Allstate supports teen driver safety through research. We have observed the performance of teenSMART for many years and see that teens that complete the program have fewer collisions and injuries. That is why we are proud to offer a significant discount for those that complete the teenSMART program here in California. We want our teens to be safe on the road and know they are in good hands.— Jeffery L. Thomas, PCU Territorial Product Manager California Region, Allstate Insurance

This program was truly amazing! I already have my license, but I wished I knew some of this beforehand, because now I feel more comfortable while driving. Now that I’m usually by myself while driving, it’s nice to know that I know what I’m doing. And I can drive safely and not be nervous about what’s going on around me 🙂— CM, Teen, St. Charles, FL

AAA Insurance has been an advocate for teen driver-safety for decades. We offer the teenSMART discount because we want teen drivers to have the best tools available to remain safe on the road. We find that teens that complete the program have fewer crashes with less severe outcomes. That is why we recommend teenSMART.— Matthew Hardin, CPCU Regional Vice President, AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah Insurance Exchange
