Driver Behavior Score Calculator (Free)
Estimate a simple driver risk score using common fleet behavior signals: speeding, harsh braking, harsh acceleration, harsh cornering, and idling. Use the results to prioritize coaching and track improvement over time.

What a driver behavior score tells fleet managers
A driver behavior score gives you a fast way to identify who needs coaching—without digging through raw event logs. Most fleets track the same core behaviors: speeding, harsh braking, harsh acceleration, harsh cornering, and idling. When you normalize by miles driven, the score stays fair across different routes and workloads.
Common driver behavior metrics
- Speeding: A frequent contributor to incident risk. Clarify your policy threshold and keep it consistent.
- Harsh braking/acceleration: Indicates tailgating, aggressive starts/stops, or poor anticipation.
- Harsh cornering: Can indicate unsafe turns, rushing, or route pressure.
- Idling: Often tied to waste, policy compliance, and route/jobsite constraints.
How to use driver scores without harming morale
- Coach the top 10–20% outliers first.
- Focus on patterns (repeat events), not one-offs.
- Explain the “why” (safety + costs) and recognize improvement.
- Review weekly, and use a consistent time window.
Driver Behavior Score FAQ
Why does the tool ask for miles driven?
Miles help normalize event rates. A high-mile driver may have more total events, but a similar or lower rate than a low-mile driver.
What score is “good”?
In this model, 80–100 is typically low risk, 60–79 is medium, and below 60 needs attention. Adjust weights to match your policies.
Can I use this for a fleet-wide score?
Yes. Use fleet totals for the same time window, or score each driver and average the results.
Does Moto Watchdog support behavior tracking?
Moto Watchdog can support coaching and behavior reporting depending on device configuration, detected events, and alerts setup.
