Are there any special requirements for teen drivers in Pennsylvania when adding them to my policy?
There’s not any real special requirements for teen drivers. Adding a teen driver can get a little expensive, as teen drivers are more likely to get involved in an accident. There are some discounts available to help bring down the cost.
A lot of carriers will offer a discount if your teen driver is a good student, and also carriers will offer discounts if they take a driver training course as well. So those are two discounts that are available. Another program that a lot of insurance companies use now is a smartphone app that can help monitor driving habits. That can be useful to give you a discount, and you can also use that tool to teach your teen drivers about their driving habits. They monitor speed, hard braking, and if you’re holding your phone while you’re driving and using your phone. So that can be a useful tool to save some money and to teach your kids to avoid some bad driving habits.
