Auto insurers are increasingly collecting data on driver habits to produce driver scores. These scores reflect the safety of your driving habits, including factors like braking, speeding, phone usage, and late-night driving. While you can easily access your credit score, finding out your driving score is more challenging. Auto insurance companies use this data to adjust rates, potentially affecting what you pay for coverage. The practice of monitoring driving behavior, known as telematics, could lead to personalized and fairer rates, but many consumers may not realize their behavior is being tracked.
