Parents Rank Teen Driving #1 on List of Parental Worries

In a recent study done by Chevrolet, parents ranked driving without adult supervision #1 on the list of what parents of teens worry about most. Other options on the list included academic performance, drug and alcohol use, sexual activity and problems with friends.

Chevrolet introduced the Teen Driver Technology in 10 of the 2017 Chevrolet models to help ease parents worries about teenage driving. The ten 2017 models with available Teen Driver Technology include the Chevrolet Bolt EV, Camaro, Colorado, Cruze, Malibu, Silverado, Silverado HD, Suburban, Tahoe and Volt.

The technology includes a vehicle report card that shows parents how your child performed behind the wheel. This allows parents the opportunity to coach teens on what areas need improvement. The report shows the following:

Distance driven

Maximum speed reached

Overspeed warnings issued

Stability control events

Antilock braking events

Traction control activations

Wide-open throttle events

Forward Collision Alerts, if equipped

Forward Collision Braking events, if equipped

Tailgating Alerts, if equipped

The Teen Driver Technology restricts the maximum vehicle speed to 85 miles per hour. Parents can also set up custom audible and visual warnings that alert the teen if the vehicle is traveling over a pre-selected speed. To encourage teens to wear their seat belts when in the front seats, the radio/audio is muted until teens are buckled up. Parents can also set an audio limit so that teens are focusing on the road instead of being distracted by loud music.

When Does Sioux City's Shelby Houlihan Run in the Olympics?

Sioux City, IA is honored to have a local runner featured in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Shelby Houlihan, a state track and Drake Relays champion at Sioux City East and an Arizona State All-American, will be making her Olympic debut on Tuesday, August 16 in Rio.

The Siouxland Chamber of Commerce and City of Sioux City will be hosting a free "Watch Party" from 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM on August 16 at the Sioux City Convention Center. The 5,000 meters race will have two preliminary heats at 7:30 AM and 7:51 AM.

The race will be on NBCSN or LIVE at http://www.nbcolympics.com/video.

In an interview with The Sioux City Journal, Houlihan said, “The last two months I had that ‘I will be an Olympian’ written on my mirror so when I wake up every day I would see that and I would tell that to myself multiple times a day during the workouts,” Houlihan said. “By the time I did toe the line (at the U.S. Trials) it was in my head that I could do it and I didn’t really have any doubts or make the race more than it was.”

Now Houlihan changed the message on her mirror to, "I will win gold."

Shelby Houlihan...all of Siouxland is behind you! Be sure to cheer on the Sioux City Olympian Tuesday morning!
