Safe teen driver logging app?

[vifferman]

I have one of my children in the restricted phase of their car drivers licence...

You have offspring?!?!?

Holy shit!! I thought it was bad enough that my mutant spawn are loose in the world!
That reminds me - must accidentally geld them...
On the other hand... none of them actually know how to interact with other mutants, so they're unlikely to replicate themselves. Plus... they've got my bad parenting to act as an incentive to keep their genomes to themselves...

You guys [and girl] seem to have completely missed the point. This is to log supervised driving. Of course I know where they are - I'm sitting in the passenger seat.

The driver apps keep a count of the number of supervised hours spent driving on different kinds of roads in different kinds of conditions and different times of the day.

I gotta ask - what exactly do you hope to do with this logged information exactly? I cant imagine a good reason.

Surely you aren't relying on time spent driving to gauge their skills? - some people drive for 30 years, and still cant figure out how to indicate at a fucking roundabout.

Unfortunately, they are the only means to getting grandchildren.

...Or a 3B1 Notebook.

Surely any of the sports tracker apps available for your type of phone (iPhone, Android, Windows) will do the trick. They record the route (map), maximum speed achieved, average speed, and speed for each kilometre segment. They store each session in history, and you can even share it on Facebook for bragging rights...

Have three teens driving at moment and record their odometer before they drive and when they come home with pen and paper, just like truck drivers do, it's called a log book fuckwit, then I'm not busy with my ifuck device, I'm watching them drive and under full supervision when with them,

We have started with a notebook. However, I found found a solution I am happy with. I found NZTA have a web site for keeping track of it.

So we have started using this no.

Owning a Honda and living on the north shore he opbviously wants BBQ bragging rights about how highly trained his perfect 2.4 kids are.
Just use the cycling APP Strava, just about every street in Auckland will be a route segment and your kids will score heaps of King of the Mountain KOM ratings

I really fail to see why you want to do this...

I believe the 120 hours of supervised driving, similar to Australia and Germany, produce better safer drivers.

Training programs, like on practice.co.nz, and the other general 100 to 120 hours programs, suggest certain number of hours of many different types of driving. The programs do this to ensure the learner driver is more well rounded and has had exposure to lots of different types of roads and conditions, rather than relying on the "fresh" teen driver trying to figure it out the first time they encounter it.

Now that sounds just like what I was looking for! Thanks.
