YDS App Contest

Responsibility has its Rewards.®

Each trip you take starts off with a Driving Score of 100 points. Every time you drive distracted (a phone call, texting, moving away from the app, etc.) or speed, you lose 20 points. If your Driving Score is less than 100 at the end of each trip, you aren’t eligible for any rewards. If you drove without any distractions and your driving score remained at 100, you qualify for rewards and earn a Safe Trip badge for every 3 distraction-free trips! Click here to learn more about the app. 

Win a $50 Gift Card! How the Contest Works:

  1. Download the YDS app from the App Store and start using the app & driving distraction free.
  2. Achieve at least 1 safe driving trip.
  3. Post a screenshot of your first Safe Trip on social media (Driving Score of 100, no distractions), and tag @TeensDriverSeat!

Good luck and safe-driving!
