Driver Feedback™ Instructor Edition mobile app, now available free on iOS and Android platforms
Driver Feedback™ Instructor Edition, a free mobile app developed by State Farm
®
, is now available for both iOS and
Android mobile devices. The app is designed to help driver education instructors access, record, organize and monitor
the progress of their students during behind-the-wheel instruction, and helps parents stay informed of their teens’
driving results.
The new app was featured and demonstrated live during the ADTSEA Annual Conference. Available from the Apple App
Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android) at no charge, the app builds on the functionality of Driver Feedback™, released
by State Farm in 2011.
The instructor edition provides customized features that help instructors manage multiple students or classes, record
notes, and download driving data for more detailed analysis. The app calculates each trip a driver makes and delivers
an overall trip score. It also measures individual scores for three key driving behaviors, or the ABCs of driving:
Acceleration
Braking
Cornering
The better the driving, the higher the score. As students master slow and smooth acceleration,
braking and cornering, their scores increase. Students may track their own progress over time
and compete against their previous driving performance.
Individual data can be texted or emailed to students and parents to reinforce positive
behaviors, celebrate successes and identify areas that need
improvement or additional practice.
As the nation’s leading auto insurer, State Farm believes
providing detailed information about driving performance will
help instructors document and increase the rate of student
learning and competency. Crashes remain the No. 1 killer of
teens and the first year behind the wheel is the most dangerous.
The Driver Feedback Instructor Edition app also helps driver education professionals teach new
teen drivers that safe driving is a life-long habit that starts with them. By adopting safe driving
habits, like driving 2N2
®
(2 eyes on the road, 2 hands on the wheel), every teen has the power
to make a difference when they drive or ride as a passenger.
State Farm is committed to preventing teen crashes, reducing injuries and saving lives.
