Driveology‪®‬ 17+

It’s a great way to drive safe but it deducts points from your score even if it’s because of people who just cut in front of you or all of a sudden stops and so you had to brake hard to avoid having an accident. It doesn’t know if it’s your fault or other careless drivers. Also dings you for speeding in some areas where there’s no speed limit and says your speeding when there’s no posted speed limit sign at all. How are we supposed to know that except for obvious areas like curves, school zones, ramps, in town driving where you know to slow down anyways?

Overall, this app works fairly well. I appreciate that it makes me conscious of my speed and phone usage while driving. That being said, there are a some issues that actually encourage unsafe driving, hence the 1 star rating. The hard braking detection algorithm is horrible. My short commute to work is all highway speed (55-65 mph) with 4 stoplights along the route. If any of those lights turn yellow, I have to run it or risk a 1 star rating for the drive. It does not matter how conservatively I drive or try to anticipate a potential change to the light. This is so unsafe that I’m uncomfortable adding Driveology to my teenage drivers cars for fear they’ll get into an accident trying to protect their “safety” rating. Also, having to remember to update your trips when you have multiple drivers in the car makes for a horrible user experience.

I like the app because it does help me be more aware how I drive but doesn’t allow for braking when people pull in front of you, or don’t signal until right before they turn or slam on their brakes in front of you. But do like to be able to check on how I’ve done overall for safety
