How is your driving score calculated?

Your score is calculate based on three things we measure every time you drive:

• Braking - How often you brake harshly
• Phone use - How often you (or your passengers) use your phone while driving
• Speeding - How often you stay within the speed limit

How to improve your driving score

To improve your driving score on Marshmallow Move, small changes can make a big difference. Here's where to start:

Braking

• Keep 2 seconds behind the vehicle in front (4 seconds in bad conditions).
• Look further ahead. The sooner you spot a red light, junction, or slowing traffic, the earlier you can ease off the accelerator and brake gently.
• Drive at an appropriate speed for the conditions.

Phone use

• If you're using your phone for navigation, secure it in a phone mount.
• Avoid touching your phone when the car is moving, even with hands-free technology.
• Don't let passengers use your phone, and if you do, let us know using trip reclassification in the app.

Speeding

• Stay within the speed limit at all times.
• Adjust your speed for road conditions and traffic.

What score should I aim for?

Aim for 80 or above — that's a great score, and it could help when your policy renews.

Everyone makes mistakes, and the occasional error behind the wheel won't have a big impact on your score. But if your score stays consistently very low, we may need to review your policy.
