A predictor of risk, not a recorder of it.
The Driver Risk Index (DRI) is a 20-minute online psychometric assessment, benchmarked against over a million drivers, that produces an individual profile explaining why a driver is more vulnerable to risk.
Deployed in three steps: no vehicle, no time off the road.
A structured set of questions across all four risk factors. 20 minutes, online, accessible anywhere.
A standard 7-point scale, benchmarked against the driver’s own population. There are no right or wrong answers.
An individual profile is generated instantly, explaining not just what a driver does, but why.
Four linked domains, not a single generic score.
The DRI profiles each driver across four domains, giving a structured, comparable, individual risk picture rather than one number.
Age, mileage, hours driven, licence and driving history: the factual exposure variables every operator already tracks.
Aggression, driving excitement, hazard monitoring and fatigue susceptibility: the tendencies most strongly linked to violations and crashes.
Confrontational coping, driving focus, self-evaluation and driving concerns: how a driver responds under pressure, and whether they adapt.
Impression management and driver confidence, which flag when other scores are likely being suppressed, so a report is never taken at face value.
Each profile becomes a coaching conversation, not a training course.
Where further intervention is needed, DriverMetrics offers two routes through partner companies: eLearning modules and individualised one-to-one coaching (in vehicle or by phone). Each report gives a fleet operator something telematics alone cannot: a validated, individual explanation of why a driver is higher risk, and which specific factors a coaching conversation should prioritise.
