Test your driving skills online

DriverMetrics is a new system designed to scientifically assess a driver’s risk. Via online access motorists' personal strengths and weaknesses can be highlighted using a unique Driver Risk Index system.

The system developed by academics at Cranfield University’s Driving Research Group, provides drivers with an insight into their strengths and weaknesses as a driver, giving them the opportunity to change their approach to driving. Any driver can now find out their personal DRI profile by logging onto the website www.DriverMetrics.co.uk and completing a psychometric driver risk assessment.

The DRI produces an instant, scientifically validated, driver profile that shows a driver whether they are at high, medium or low risk of being involved in an accident. The profile analyses and explains a range of driving related factors that are known to place drivers at risk such as such as aggression, dislike of driving, thrill-seeking, fatigue proneness, driver confidence and coping strategies.

Drivers are given a report that includes advice on how to address any risk factors that are highlighted. They also have the option to find out more about one-to-one driver training to help curb the behaviours that can lead to an accident.
