Drive Safe, Get Paid: MyDriveHero Transforms Road Safety in Australia

MyDriveHero, Australia's leading safe driving app, is transforming the landscape of road safety by incentivising and rewarding responsible driving behaviour. With a mission to reduce road incidents, MyDriveHero is putting cash back into the pockets of everyday drivers while making a significant impact on road safety statistics.

 

Co-founded by three Australian entrepreneurs, Rick Markham, Blake Robinson and Joshua Wong, MyDriveHero's unique platform automatically records trips and allows users to 'bank' them for rewards. The app's safety score, based on critical factors such as speeding and distraction, determines the cash earned per trip. The app is free to download and use.

 

This innovative approach has led to impressive results:

• - 24% decrease in speeding incidents
• - 21% reduction in distraction (mobile phone usage)
• - Over 37 million kilometers tracked across Australia
• - More than $180,000 distributed to Australian drivers for safe driving

Users simply download the app for free and let it run in the background. After each trip, they can review their journey, receive a safety score, and unlock cash rewards. The interactive map highlights areas for improvement, fostering a continuous learning environment for drivers.

 

MyDriveHero has made significant strides since its inception:

• - 100% Australian owned and operated
• - Present in every state and territory
• - 675,000 hours nationally of safer driving
• - 2.8 million trips logged to date

The app caters to a diverse user base, with a particular focus on families and younger drivers. 

 

Blake Robinson, co- founder of MyDriveHero, states: “Through relentless innovation, we’ve built an ecosystem that’s not only engaging, but fun, addictive, and free. The results speak volumes: across 37 million kilometers, we’ve improved road safety through reduced speeding by 24% and reduced distraction (phone usage) by 21%.

 

These numbers are more than statistics—they represent lives saved, families protected, and safer roads for all.We will not stop until MyDriveHero is a household name. When it comes to safer roads and safer communities we believe that every person who downloads the app is a hero in their own right for making a decision to be safer on the road and deserves to be rewarded.”

 

As MyDriveHero continues to evolve, with recent upgrades including automatic trip recording and a cash reward system, the team remains committed to their vision of safer roads and communities across Australia and beyond.
