Looking around the web tonight I stumbled upon this article in the Washington Post. It's an interesting use of technology and if I still was facing 6 teen drivers I would definitely do more exploring. A portion of the article follows:

When Ben Ellison, 15, gets his driver's license next month, he dreams of driving a midnight blue, low-riding Honda with monster horsepower, a performance exhaust system and, inside, blue neon rods that glow with each bass beat from the stereo.

Instead, he'll drive a Mazda, with a computer chip that spies on every ride.

"If I wasn't into tuning my car, I think maybe this wouldn't have happened," Ben said last week, swinging his Mazda 626 onto a highway in Easton, Md., on a practice drive as he -- and the monitor -- noted his speed.

"It's pretty cool technology and all," he said, glancing at the matchbook-size device plugged into the steering column near the knees of his cargo pants. "But after a while, this is going to be so annoying."

All parents of teen drivers should consider this technology. Especially with the extra added benefit of potentially annoying your kid.........
