SafeDrivePod
Read full descriptionHide full description
Safe through traffic with driving style feedback and no telephone distraction. It can only be used in combination with a small device, the SafeDrivePod, that has to be mounted in your car (www.safedrivepod.com). The device monitors whether you're in the car and driving, when it is impossible to use the phone other than hands free calling. If you want to have for example Spotify, just start it before driving! In addition, the SafeDrivePod can measure how well you drive. If you brake hard, accelerate hard or tear through corners, your score will drop. It is a good way to become aware of your driving style and improve it if necessary. The app has to be running on your phone at all times and Bluetooth Low Energy has to be enabled at all times. The battery cost of the app, however, is minimal and hardly noticeable. When the app is not used correctly, by e.g. turning off Bluetooth, so that you can still use your phone in the car, this is reported to the server, where it is shown in a dashboard to which your fleet manager, lease company or insurance company could have access (depending on your contract). The information on how you comply to the SafeDrivePod product also can be found in the app, where you can find how well you do! SafeDrivePod is committed to making our website and mobile applications accessible to all users regardless of their capabilities or limitations. Simply because we think it is important that everyone can use our services. For more details on this, check our website: https://www.safedrivepod.com/accessibility-statement We wish you safe travels!
