Mobi Safety Rewards
Drive safe. Enjoy the rewards.
Support young driver road safety
Learning to drive within the ‘Graduated Licence System’ (GLS) is a journey that takes around twelve months of supervised practical and safety education under a Learner permit, followed by three years of unsupervised Provisional licence ‘experience’.
Unfortunately from the age of 17 through to 25, young drivers are significantly over-represented in fatal and serious accidents.
While ongoing road safety education remains critical, Mobi aims to contribute to a solution to this problem by monitoring, mentoring and rewarding safer driving behaviour.
We also provide a method to significantly reduce the distraction of phone use and texting while driving.
Our mission
We believe that the key ingredient missing beyond the Learner driver phase is ongoing supervision, mentoring, feedback and a gentle nudge here and there. Our mission is to fulfil that function using artificial intelligence, backed by data that references behaviour more likely to result in an accident.
We underpin this effort with supporting resources and a rewards program.
A road safety solution that removes cost-barriers
Driver behaviour monitoring is common in today’s commercial fleet driver programs. These typically come as an add-on module, requiring in-car technology. The cost is beyond what would be acceptable to this demographic use-case. The Mobi app technology removes that barrier.
The Mobi Safety Rewards App
Mobi uses smart-phone sensors to monitor key aspects of safe driving. Actual speed against posted limits, acceleration and braking, turning and lane changing, distraction / phone handling, time of day, weather and accident detection. A unique driver profile is created and reflected as a safety score and backed up by feedback, coaching and reporting for the driver and supervisors.
The short story
Initially, Mobi is intended for Parents and Care-givers of soon-to-be, or current Learner drivers. The app will follow and assist the driver through their Learner and Provisional journey, providing feed back and tips.
It and our supporting resources, are offered as a low-cost monthly subscription.

Control phone calls and texting while driving
Distraction is a major cause of accidents.
Provisional drivers are not permitted* to call or text while driving.
However, on going solo, there is a strong temptation to answer or make calls or text when direct supervision ceases.
We provide you with a method to significantly reduce the chance of distraction of phone use, via custom settings that can be automatically activated and locked when driving is detected. Once you have installed the Mobi app on your young driver’s phone. We strongly suggest that you follow these simple steps.
*Laws vary by state/territory. We provide links in our Resources section.
Getting Started
To join the Mobi journey towards safer driving, scroll down and select a subscription that best meets your requirments.
On the completion of your subscription check-out, an invite and link to the Mobi Safety Rewards App download will be posted to the student email provided.
After download to your student driver’s phone, we recommend that you participate in the App set up, as there is an option to add cars being driven.
Initially this will often be the family car(s) and subsequently the student driver’s own car, or those of siblings. Just follow the tips.
The Supervisor (you), will also receive a subscription confirmation email and a link to the reporting dashboard, where you will be able to review trip summaries, along with driving behaviour breakdowns on a per trip, and on a 14 day and 60 day average safety score basis.
Individual trips can also be ‘replayed’ with instances of events lower than ideal driving behaviour (ie speeding, hard cornering, phone use) identified.
This will provide an overview of where driving habits have improved, or may need additional consideration and discussion.
Our Safety Score algorithm will also analyse and provide tips and feedback to the student over time.
You will also have an option to invite a second Supervisor (eg spouse/partner/care-giver) and also a professional driving instructor from any of the listed driving schools (these will increase as we progress. If your preferred driving school is not listed, let us know, via email to info@mobisafetyrewards.com)
Being inexperienced, there will inevitably be events recorded that indicate less than ideal driving behaviours.
It is important, that your young driver remains open to guidance and trust.
Scores and event notification should be used as a basis for ongoing review and discussion, rather than direct criticism.

Where can I review trips, safety scores, reports etc?
There are a couple of options.
The first is to sit down with your young driver and review together via the app interface.
The second is via the web-based Mobi reporting dashboard. This where supervisors (typically parents and care-givers) and also professional instructors (only via invite) can review all activity. That will be available via a menu link.
We also highly recommend that that you download and review the very good guide from Monash University titled “Going Solo – A resource for parents of P plate drivers“
You will find a link in our ‘Resources’ section, along with links to other useful information on driver education.

When subscribed. Rewards can be accessed from within the Mobi App.
Over time we will update rewards and communicate these via our mailing list.
In some cases, Mobi may receive a small fee from suppliers.
Where can I find more useful information resources?
Glad you asked. There are many useful driver education resources available.
We provide links to many of these from our ‘Resources‘ page. This is a work in progress, so check back often for more new links.
For student drivers, the Mobi app also provides links to engaging and interactive coaching content, along with contextual content and feedback.
