As families in Memphis and nationwide prepare for their return to in-person learning after a year away, surveys found that 68% of parents are anxious to think of their kids on the road once again. Chevy worked alongside the Harris Poll to survey more than 1,000 parents of school-aged children to provide insight into how the pandemic affected their driving skills and new challenges young drivers are up against daily.
During the pandemic, 56 percent of parents said they absolutely were driving much less. If basic driving skills deteriorate, it can lead to carelessness on the road. 75 percent of parents surveyed now report that they feel as if they are much more on the defensive since road space is filling up with more drivers again. The pandemic was also responsible for many delays in licensing and registration, with nearly half of parents saying they were tied up due to DMV’s limiting services nationwide.
Aggravated drivers have also posed a major safety threat on roads nationwide, as 73 percent of parents reported incidents they felt were related to road rage and increased stress of the lingering virus. Well-equipped and class-leading vehicles such as the 2022 Chevy Traverse feature multiple active safety and driver-assistance features that will leave you much less worried about your kids driving to school this fall. All trims come with automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, following distance indicator, forward collision alert, and IntelliBeam automatic high beam control.
The Teen Driver technology will provide a useful safeguard when it comes to coaching drivers: even when they are unaccompanied. Parents can set a specific speed alert, volume limit, and monitor the performance of every drive. The Buckle To Drive feature doubles down efficiently to prevent the driver from shifting out of park if the seat belt is not buckled, providing a high-tech reminder to always be as safe as possible on the road. If anything from a fender bender to a serious accident ever occurs, OnStar Automatic Crash Response can connect drivers to an Emergency-Certified Advisor who can quickly locate and dispatch help, towing, and other vital forms of assistance.
Other new features for 2022 include updated front and rear-end styling, standard LED headlights and taillights, four new wheel designs, and Wireless AppleCarPlay and Android Auto. The Motor Trend staff praised the Traverse for its remarkable ride quality, body control, and smooth, responsive shifts courtesy of the nine-speed automatic.
The 2021 Traverse provides a spacious cabin ideal for back-to-school trips and activities, seating for seven or eight across three rows, and 33.5 inches of legroom in the back. The Traverse will be working overtime to keep teens on the road safe this fall and alleviate any parent’s worry!
