How smartphones make you safer on the roads

From insurance benefits to free drinks and snacks, apps offer incentives that change driving behaviour, writes ARTHUR GOLDSTUCK

How Avis SafeDrive works:

  • The client downloads the Avis SafeDrive app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, and receives a sensor at the Avis Counter.
  • The client presses a button on the sensor and then follows instructions on the app to link the sensor to your rental vehicle.
  • Bluetooth, GPS and Mobile data must be switched on while driving.
  • The SafeDrive sensor is attached to a velcro strip on the windscreen.
  •  The driver is now protected by Avis SafeDrive, ImpactAlert, panic button and severe weather alerts, with access to 24-hour medical assistance.
  • If drivers watch their speed, corner gently, don’t brake suddenly, accelerate harshly and don’t text while driving, the rewards should begin arriving daily, via the app.
