Good level of detail and feedback in driving score but my driving score fluctuates massively. The score changed at times but over the course of some weeks it never went below 50. Then when I checked after a week my score had fallen from the 70s to 20s without giving any warnings about my driving performance. I don't agree with phone use scoring, passengers use my phone while I drive, and this had such a sudden deadly impact, insurance was cut off with no warning or chance to improve my score.

Hi, I'm sorry to read about the experience you've had with your telematics policy. Notifications would have been sent in advance of the cancellation date to advise when the policy would be cancelled and why this was being done. I'm sorry if this wasn't seen. If you think your policy was cancelled incorrectly, please call our YouDrive team. ~Theo

Despite my phone settings being correct, this app/dongle is very inaccurate at times. It records phone use whilst parked in a car park with the engine off and standing outside the car. This app also records journeys made 6 hours apart as one journey. I had to laugh when, it appears, I drove home in a straight line through fields. Could have sworn I was actually driving on the road! Wouldn't be so bad if fictitious phone use didn't have a detrimental impact on scoring. No way to challenge either.

The app is pretty good, however, gives you a score for phone use. Can you please explain what it is looking at? I use my phone for navigation and I get really bad scores. Is it any screen interaction, is it having your phone screen on at all (for navigation), will having a podcast running on YouTube be bad? You really need this to be laid out clearly. I don't use my phone while driving apart for navigation and seeing what is ahead, but always get bad scores. :/

Hi there, so sorry to hear this. With our Youdrive policy, if the phone is used while driving (even by your passenger) it will affect your score. But not to worry, as long as the score is above 30 there will not be an issue. ~ Sian
