NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2019 (
Press Release Power) -- Today Most Of The People seems to have a blind spot when it comes to speeding: despite 83% of people believing speeding is unsafe, 64% self-report speeding regularly. Drivers have a minimal perception of the risk of speeding, despite studies showing that it accounts for more than a quarter (26%) of all traffic fatalities. It's as deadly as drunk driving, the faster the deadlier.
To keep loved ones safe on the road, Zendrive through its mobile tech helps enable Hum, Verizon's connected car solution to improves driving safety. This technology display a marked reduction in speeding through a feedback loop that allows people to see how their overall driving safety score changes over time, using the sensors on the phone alone.
After The Six Months Of Study of the Hum Users Results show that over 30% of drivers showed an overall reduction in speeding. The average driver reduced their speeding time by 0.24 minutes/hour. While this doesn't seem like a lot, that behavioural change equates to millions of hours every month where drivers are no longer speeding: enough to circle the Earth over 2,000 times. Since even a 5% decrease in speed relates to an average 20% reduction in fatal crashes, small shifts in behaviour can have a substantial impact.
œZendrive was founded to make roads safe using data and analytics, said Zendrive CEO & Co-founder, Jonathan Matus. œOur last school safety study showed us that the roads around our country's schools are dangerous, and speeding makes them worse. Through this partnership with Verizon, our ability to surface regular feedback helped drivers understand their actual behaviour and empowered them to make meaningful changes that will make roads safer for all.
