It is very simple; each trip starts off with a Driving Score of 100 points. 20 points will be deducted for each driving infraction such as distracted driving (a phone call, texting, moving away from the app, etc.) or speeding. Should the user score less than 100 points, they will not be eligible for any rewards but will be notified of their driving score, the points lost due to poor driving behavior and tips on how they can improve. Only a Driving Score of 100, otherwise known as a Safe Trip, will be eligible for receiving rewards.
How the App Works
The app works by providing drivers with a Driving Score of 100 points. 20 points will be deducted for each driving infraction such as distracted driving (a phone call, texting, moving away from the app, etc.) or excessive speeding 80 mph or higher.

Understanding Your Driving Score
If the Driving Score is less than 100 points, they will not be eligible for any rewards but will be notified of their Driving Score, the points lost due to poor driving behavior and tips on how they can improve. Only a Driving Score of 100, otherwise known as a Safe Trip, will be eligible for receiving rewards. The number of miles traveled for each Safe Trip are multiplied by 5 to total the amount of points earned.
Infraction Example: Driving Score of 80 and trip length of 10 miles = 0 points awarded and 50 points missed. Zero Infraction (Safe Trip) Example: Driving Score of 100 and trip length of 10 miles = 50 points awarded.
Rewards
The points earned per Safe Trip dictate the Star Level and rewards that the user is eligible for.

Safe Trip Streak Badges
For every 3 consecutive Safe Trips, the user earns a Safe Streak Badge, up to a streak of 15 Safe Trips. Earning these badges makes the user eligible for random rewards given out in accordance with teen traffic-related events such as National Teen Driver Safety Week and other contests that Teens in the Driver Seat might hold.
Earn TDS All-Stars Points
Points are awarded based on the number of students, listed below, who are assigned to the school on their profile and actively use the app. An active user is defined as someone obtaining at least 10 safe trips within the All-Star period of April 3, 2021–April 1, 2022. (No activity form required)
5 students–5 points
10 students–10 points
25 students–15 points
50 students–20 points
These points are not related to the in-app cash rewards needed to achieve gift cards.
