- Ukrainian drivers will be rewarded for compliance with traffic rules
Ukrainian motorists have been informed that they can receive an incentive for diligent compliance with traffic rules and safe driving. The fact is that a special service has been launched in the country, which should act as a motivation for those drivers who do not break the law.
What is it and who will it affect?
It is also worth noting that no one has canceled fines for violating traffic rules, and the motivation itself will be that a diligent motorist will receive a good cashback or a discount when purchasing an insurance policy. To evaluate the benefits of the new service, you need to download and install a special application on your smartphone, which will assess how well you comply with traffic rules. The size of the discount that the driver will receive will directly depend on the quality of driving. The application can also be used not only by vehicle owners, but also by those who use the
car rental service.
More about the application
The program that will evaluate the observance of traffic rules by Ukrainian drivers is called 'Safe Driving'. At the moment, the application can only be used by owners of smartphones from the manufacturer Apple. But soon it will also become available to owners of gadgets on the Android platform, which means that we can safely predict that in the near future the number of people who will use this application in order to receive pleasant bonuses will increase significantly. Immediately after the driver installs the application on his smartphone and safely makes the first 10 trips, he will receive the first amount of cashback. In addition, he will be assigned a certain place in the rating for driving quality.
Why will it be effective?
We can predict the effectiveness of the application based on the negative experience with the launch of the 'UA Fines' program. Let us remind you that it has been operating since 2016. An analysis of the results for this entire period showed that fining drivers did not affect the number of accidents and dangerous situations on the road. In addition, based on similar experiences in other countries, the developers of the Safe Driving app came to the conclusion that the problem can be solved by incentives. In their opinion, cashbacks and discounts will help instill responsible driving in drivers. However, according to Denis Dmitrov, founder of the Safe Driving platform, implementing the program alone will not be enough to solve the problem. To form a culture of responsible driving, it is necessary to involve city authorities and residents.
