React Like Spiderman!
Situational Awareness Reduces Stress and Reaction Time
I've had ride along parents and students think that I react like spiderman. The truth is, spiderman is slow😉. When I'm teaching, I have two extra mirrors that I use to constantly scan and check our surroundings. As parents you have the experience, you just need the ability to see things coming. I think these are the cheapest and easiest things to help. The best bang for your buck (and sanity).

I've used this mirror for years. Place it in the upper right windshield so you can see everything as a passenger. It's easy to mount and move if you want to move it to another vehicle. The more vehicles your teen drives now the better driver and more adaptable driver you'll create.

This mirror is similar to what I use while instructing students. Place it on the top of the passenger mirror and adjust it from the passenger seat to help you see while teaching your teen. This covers vehicles approaching and the right blind spot.

If you're into a clean, minimalistic look, this mirror can be placed in a lot of different locations. I've also seen some parents place them on the 'A' pillar if that works better for you.
Student Driver Magnets

Love them or hate them, other drivers have a tendency to treat cars with these magnets like a live hand grenade and steer clear. As a bonus it will embarrass your teen that has embarrassed you for years.
Dash Cameras
Dashcams - Teaching and Evidence
Dashcams are a useful tool for video reviews when learning. When I was teaching a student, there was a wrong way driver that I had to take control of the vehicle for. The student didn't see the wrong way driver (new drivers have a tendency to look to closely and have tunnel vision when learning while nervous). Having a dashcam can allow a visual review of a situation so that it becomes a better concrete learning moment. I also used our dashcam to provide Roseville PD with hit and run evidence that we were a witness to. Dashcams also provide evidence at the scene like an independent witness and can safeguard from insurance fraud like we've seen on social media. Younger and older drivers are usually targeted more often for fraud.

This is the dashcam that I use. You can view and download videos on your phone. It provides the best value for your money to have a dashcam that will get the job done. You can see the quality of the videos on some of our YouTube videos.

This camera is like a 4 eyed chameleon recording device. This is everything that you get in the other RedTiger camera with more angles, a touch screen, and 24-hour parking monitoring.

This pro grade dashcam creates an image a little clearer than its competition. They also have a great support system, and this camera is at the top of every review list. This is a camera you can't go wrong with. It has easier to use controls and boasts voice control as well.

Portable Tire Inflator
Glass Breaker - Seatbelt Cutter
Driver Training Brake Handle
Having a low inflated tire can be a drag and an unsafe way to leave your vehicle. We've taken the guess work out of the selection process and found a portable tire inflator that you can always have with you so your never down for too long and avoid that tire blowout while on the road.

This brake assist can be easily moved from one vehicle to another. Sometimes we just want a little piece of mind and don't want to give up all control yet. This is an option if you don't want to mount anything.

We've all seen the movies where the seatbelt won't unbuckle, or the car is sinking, and you can't get the door open. I'd rather be prepared than lucky.
