In association with Brake, we believe that parents and guardians are the key to making the first years of driving safer for their kids and other road users. New drivers are more likely to be involved in an incident simply due to inexperience and you can be instrumental in ensuring they are driving correctly.
Connect Your Kids sets out to put the parent or guardian at the heart of the intervention by giving you the information on how well your kid is driving, which in turn allows you to educate and take appropriate action.

Key features of the app:
- Agree and set pledges – Set geo, time and safety based expectations with your kid and create pledges in the app around how they will drive, when they can drive and where they will drive.
Example pledges you can set up to 5 strikes for that you may wish to create with your kid based on their confidence, how well they are performing and how experienced they are:
> I will always drive within the speed limit
> I will not drive on motorways
> I will only drive between these agreed times of the day
> I will not drive for any longer than the agreed time without a break
- Running cost rewards – Set cash rewards for hitting pledges, good driving and completing tasks
- Influence behaviour - The app will inform you when the pledges are broken and provide you with detail on the incident ready for your intervention.
- Trip reports – A full and friendly overview of every trip your kid takes with explanation on where they need to improve
- Track the car - Get peace of mind by knowing where the car is at all time, how far it is from home, if it is in motion and if it is being driven responsibly.
- Pause tracking - In the event that any other person other than the kid is driving the car you can pause and restart the tracking directly from the app.
Together we believe we can reduce the young driver incident rate and we truly welcome all parent guardians with young drivers to be a part of a new revolution in driver responsibility.
