About this app

Drive Safe Buddy rewards you for keeping your phone down and your eyes on the road.

Every trip you take is automatically detected — no buttons to press, no timers to start. We score how distraction-free your drive was, award points for safe trips, and let you redeem them for real insurance perks and partner rewards across Ireland, UK & Europe.

★ AUTOMATIC TRIP DETECTION
Just drive. Drive Safe Buddy detects when you start moving and quietly tracks your trip in the background. No more forgetting to "start" the app.

★ SAFE DRIVING SCORE
We measure phone distraction during each trip — did you pick up the phone, switch apps, or stay focused on the road? Your score reflects real driving behaviour.

★ EARN POINTS & REWARDS
Every safe trip earns points. Redeem them for insurance discounts, fuel vouchers, coffee, and rewards from our Irish partners.

★ HAZARD ALERTS
See community-reported hazards on your route — potholes, debris, speed cameras, and incidents — voiced aloud so you never need to look at your screen.

★ DRIVE MODE
A clean, glanceable map with your live speed, the road's speed limit, and turn-by-turn hazard warnings. Designed to be read in under a second.

★ BUILT FOR IRISH DRIVERS
Speed limits in km/h, Irish road data, Irish reward partners, and GDPR-compliant from day one. Will automatically adjust to MPH where required, e.g. UK & USA

★ YOUR PRIVACY, YOUR CONTROL
Every data category is opt-in and toggleable. We don't sell your data. We don't store your raw GPS trail — only completed trips are uploaded. Read the full policy at drivesafebuddy.com/privacy.
