The Steer Clear® app is part of a comprehensive program that helps young drivers reinforce positive driving behavior. Young drivers, under age 25, who complete the Steer Clear Safe Driver Discount Program, may be eligible for a discount on their State Farm® auto insurance. The Steer Clear mobile application tracks a driver's progress through pre-set learning modules of updated content including topics such as Bluetooth, distracted driving (texting/games), and special driving situations. Drivers will no longer need to manually record their trips if the program is conducted through this app. Throughout their trips, drivers will be scored and given feedback on their braking, acceleration, and cornering. This application will also offer a code (account key) in which a mentor (parent, guardian, agent, experienced driver over 25) can receive from their driver and keep track of their driver's course progress and driving feedback/trip scores from their own device. Once a driver completes the program, they will receive a program completion certificate that they can text, email, or bring into the agent's office. Badges have been added to Steer Clear to recognize and reward a variety of specific driving accomplishments. The badges will help align users to shared goals of the app, such as scoring a certain percentage on a specific driving behavior, while acting as virtual, motivational status symbols.

What's New in Steer Clear®
2.2.0
November 7, 2024
In this release, we updated the date of birth field when creating an account and made the app more accessible.
I like how the app keeps a map of the trips and comments on the three top issues with driving, however, the badges don’t match up. Did over 3 trips in a week and badge is not showing up. The scoring is off as well. I was driving with my child on two different occasions and both times have a lower score based on acceleration. Both time my child was not accelerating. Sometimes it’s a little too sensitive. My child had it on but the vehicle was making a sound and asked me to check on it. I asked my child to move steering wheel back and forth and hit the gas a bit. Apparently this threw my child into a lower grade for that trip since he had it on while we were checking out the car. The app also says I can leave feedback for my child which is not the case. My mentor page also does not break down the scores or show a map. It’s an ok app and I like how it does give my child something to use as feedback. I also like that we can use it as a discussion point as well.
