Driving style

Shine the light on harsh driving and keep your business, drivers, and reputation safe

Used as part of an overall safety program, you could also lower your insurance rates

Just because you can’t see a problem, it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Your drivers put your company and their own safety on the line every time they slam the brakes, over-accelerate or take a corner too fast.

According to the Department of Transport, work related crashes cost companies between £16,000 and £154,000 (rising to in excess of a million if a fatality occurs) source: Highways economics Note No.1

Even if your driver is lucky enough to avoid crashing while driving aggressively, studies show that aggressive driving can lower a vehicle’s fuel economy up to 33%.

With Fleetmatics' new Driving Style reporting feature*, you can now capture hard braking, quick starts, and hard cornering with sensors calibrated to the vehicle class. Driving Style allows you to measure, manage, and reduce aggressive driving either by vehicle or by a specific driver. Also, as an added bonus, many companies now accept GPS data to help lower insurance rates.
