DrivSafe - Free Smartphone Telematic App Launched

Columbus OH, December 10, 2014 (Newswire.com) - DrivSafe smartphone telematics app is a free app that helps drivers understand their driving habits. At present, there is no good way to evaluate personal driving. DMV / BMV tests only basic driving and maneuverability abilities and there is no follow-up once a license is issued. Auto insurance companies rely on (seemingly absurd) information like credit score and education to classify drivers and surcharge $‘00s extra. If bachelor's degree really made you a good driver then how come Dale Earnhardt Jr. the 20+ times NASCAR winner has only an Associate's degree?

This is where DrivSafe smartphone telematics app comes in – the free app is built on a patented system and evaluates drivers on multiple dimensions like distance traveled, time of day (e.g., day, night and rush hour), number of places visited, type of driving (e.g., highway or city) and the amount of distraction i.e. use of cell phone while driving.

The DrivSafe app produces personalized results in as little as 7 days by comparing your driving behavior to other drivers. The easy to understand reports show how you compare to other drivers e.g., if you are in Quartile 1, you are better than 75% of the drivers; if you are in Quartile 2, you are better than 50% of the drivers and so on. 

This 7 day period ensures that the DrivSafe app learns your weekday and weekend driving habits. The creators of DrivSafe understand that driving behavior depends on many factors (e.g., traffic, weather, type of roads, etc.) so they recommend 30-45 day learning periods for better results. The app may be used to identify good habits and areas of improvement over long term. Regularly monitoring your driving habits may help you improve your driving and save $’00s on auto insurance.

DrivSafe is designed and produced by DrivSafe LLC. - a pioneer in smartphone based telematics systems. The creators of DrivSafe have earned a patent on this innovative technology. The FREE DrivSafe app is currently available for the Android platform. More information about the DrivSafe - personal driving analysis system may be found at www.DrivSafe.com.
