MyDrivingCoach is a digital coaching platform that delivers weekly, science-based safety messages through WhatsApp. It is designed to reinforce safe driving behaviours, reduce risk, and build driver confidence without the need for extra apps or logins.
MyDrivingCoach is designed for anyone who drives for work. It supports apprentices, new starters, and experienced drivers alike. It is also a helpful resource for fleet managers, transport leads and anyone responsible for road safety within their organisation.
Each week, drivers receive a short WhatsApp message focused on a single safety topic. The message links to a mobile-friendly page that includes practical tips, visuals and reflection prompts. These messages are part of a structured sequence designed to support long-term habit formation.
The programme includes over 50 topics such as speed awareness, fatigue, fitness to drive, distractions,learning from near misses etc. Each topic is delivered across four weeks to encourage reflection and gradual behaviour change.
