Giving an old car or truck to a newly-licensed teen driver can be an exciting experience for parents. With the right car and truck accessories in the vehicle, you can have confidence that your teen will stay safe on the road. Here are a few auto parts and accessories that can make a difference.

Essential Car & Truck Accessories for Your Teen Driver

1. GPS Navigation

New drivers may not be familiar with the roads and rely on GPS navigation on their smartphones to get to their destination. However, in Hawaii, it’s illegal to use electronic devices while operating a vehicle. Equip their car with GPS navigation in the dashboard so that your teen can drive to their destination safely and with confidence.

2. Reverse Cameras & Backup Sensors

Enhancing your teen’s field of view by installing reverse cameras and backup sensors. Blind spots make it challenging to see pedestrians or other vehicles, and new drivers may forget to check their surroundings thoroughly. These accessories will alert them if something is in their path, giving your teen enough time to stop and assess the situation.

3. Performance Tires

Since it frequently rains in Hawaii, add performance tires to your teen’s vehicle to ensure they’ll always have enough traction to commute in wet conditions. For added safety, take the time to teach them how to drive in rainy weather and how to identify when the tire’s tread is worn.
