Driver Scorecard
In Arabicبطاقة أداء السائق
A periodic rating that turns each driver's violations into one comparable score, normalised by distance or driving time.
What is a driver scorecard in fleet management?
A scorecard boils a driver's behaviour down to one number. Violations such as speeding, harsh braking and acceleration, and unbelted driving are counted, each is weighted by severity, and the total is divided by distance so high-mileage drivers are not penalised. Drivers are then ranked or colour-banded.
In Safee, the monthly Best Drivers report does this job: it scores each driver with weights the company sets and names the best and worst, alongside the RAG Report.
How it works
- 1System collects each driver's violations
- 2Weights them and normalises by distance
- 3Ranks and colour-bands drivers
Why does a driver scorecard matter in fleet management?
Without a common measure, judging drivers comes down to impressions and supervisors spread their time evenly. A scorecard shows who needs coaching, puts incentives on a fair footing and proves whether the safety programme is working, which shows up in crashes, fuel and insurance premiums.
What you gain
- Fair comparison between drivers
- Pinpoints who needs coaching
- Transparent basis for incentives
How does Safee help score drivers?
Safee calculates a monthly score for every driver from tracker events and alarms, weighted to suit your operation, and lists drivers from best to worst. Bonuses then rest on a basis drivers accept, and you know where to start coaching.
A field example
A chilled-food distributor in Riyadh runs 70 vehicles and handed out bonuses on supervisors' judgement, which drew constant complaints. It adopted a monthly scorecard with the heaviest weights on speeding and seat belts and published the ranking internally. After four months speeding events per 100 km were down 35%, and the bonus for the top 10 drivers was paid without dispute.
Frequently asked questions
Why normalise violations by distance?
A driver covering 8,000 km a month will rack up more events than one covering 1,000 km; normalising by distance keeps the comparison fair.
How often should scorecards be reviewed?
Monthly for rankings and incentives, and weekly for drivers on a coaching plan.
