Growing your good driving know-how means you’re well on your way to earning more rewards. Here are some tips to help you on your way:
1. Stick to the speed limit
Especially in the 20s and 30s. Speeding can have a big impact on your driver rating.
💡 Tip: Watch for speed limit changes when roads merge or slow near junctions.
2. Brake early and gently
Hard braking usually means you’re reacting late.
💡 Tip: Lift off the accelerator earlier and coast when traffic slows.
3. Watch out for short, rushed trips
Quick journeys are more likely to include harsh movements.
💡 Tip: Take a breath and drive normally, even on short runs.
4. Accelerate smoothly
Rapid acceleration can hurt your rating.
💡 Tip: Build speed gradually, especially after lights and roundabouts.
5. Take corners at a steady pace
Sharp or fast cornering looks risky to the app.
💡 Tip: Slow slightly before the turn, then maintain a smooth line.
6. Give space to the car ahead
Following too closely leads to harsh braking and sudden manoeuvres.
💡 Tip: Aim for a 2–3 second gap in normal traffic.
7. Drive consistently, not erratically
Sudden lane changes and erratic driving can lower your rating.
💡 Tip: Smooth = safe = higher driver rating.
