Confused.com rewards good driving with a new mobile phone app

The thought of having a telematics device fitted to their car may worry some drivers, however Confused.com has come up with a solution: the ‘Confused.com MotorMate ‘driving app.

Confused.com MotorMate is the new easy-to-use driving app that shows people how good a driver they are at the touch of a button, whilst earning rewards.

The app mirrors in-car telematics technology which is where a black box is fitted to a car monitoring driving performance and potentially allowing good drivers to benefit from cheaper car insurance premiums.

The Confused.com MotorMate app itself, allows drivers who are interested in telematics but are unsure about installing a little black box in their car, to "try before you buy."

The app has been developed in an exclusive partnership with  MyDrive Solutions, the pre-eminent driver behavioural profiling company in the insurance telematics industry, and  RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents), to deliver an app that allows drivers to earn real rewards and understand how good a driver they are compared with expert RoSPA drivers, who represent the gold standard for safe driving

The app is free to download from Google Play and Apple's App Store and uses innovative mobile phone technology which is already available in Android and iPhones. The operating systems for the app are Android version 2.3 or later and iPhone 4 or later versions.
