HOW DO DRIVING BEHAVIOUR SCORES WORK?
At WiseDriving, we measure the safety of your driving based on lots of different factors. These measurements are then used to calculate your unique Driving Behaviour Score. This means you are in control of your premium, and you may be able to earn a lower monthly car insurance payment. Driving safely could get you some money back on your insurance but driving erratically means you could pay more.

Top tips:
Easy does it
Make sure you accelerate and brake smoothly.
Stick to the speed limit
Exceeding the speed limit at any time will lower your score, and extreme speeding can result in your policy being cancelled. So, keep an eye on your speedometer.
Avoid long journeys
If you need to drive for periods longer than two hours, take a 15-minute break somewhere along the way to make sure you are not tired.
Watch your corners
Approach corners with appropriate speed, it is okay to slow down to make sure you can see round a corner properly.
Try not to drive as often at night or during heavy traffic
Many of the car accidents we see on our roads happen at night – this is due to the reduced visibility, tiredness, and lots of other factors. This means that you are at higher risk of having an accident between 10pm and 4am.
