Understanding Your Driving

MyDrive offers you fairer, more personal motor insurance, and can even help to improve your driving. We work out how you drive, and in the process, get to know who you are.

Driver Behaviour Profiling

By monitoring your driving every second of your journey, we can calculate just how good your driving is, and work out exactly the areas to improve. These fall into five broad categories:

• Consistency
• Anticipation
• Calmness
• Smoothness
• Pace

Over time (usually between one and three months) we can build a driver profile which scores a person’s driving according to each of these categories, before providing a weighted average score: your Expert Driver Score. All of this data can be summarised in a simple spider diagram – the closer you are to the edges, the better driver you are:

We’ve worked closely with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents to really understand what good driving looks like. This is used in conjunction with our deep knowledge of the psychology of driving, while we also know when and where you are driving. All this information ensures that we understand what an individual profile actually means.
