Recommendations

What’s driving each score, what to do about it, and where it could go.

A high share of violations are occurring in KY

Medium impact

7 of 12 violations in the last 12 months (58%) came from inspections in KY. That can mean tougher enforcement there or simply more of your miles run through it — either way it's worth a look.

What to do
  • Review the inspections from KY to spot recurring issues
  • Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical

Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving

Estimated Unsafe Driving percentile of 16% is under the 65% line. In decent shape, but here's what's driving it.
