Driver scorecards are like report cards for your drivers. They show you who’s driving safely and who needs extra training or support. Using a demerit-based system, each driver receives a score that reflects their driving habits. With this, you can manage your fleet more easily, cut costs, and keep everyone safer.
In Singapore, road safety is taken seriously, and for good reason. Even a single accident can lead to traffic jams, financial losses for delivery companies, and sometimes even tragedy. Fleet companies like yours face legal and ethical responsibilities when it comes to driver safety on Singapore’s roads.
A driver scorecard is a tool that gives you an indisputable feed of data. This data keeps you in the know about how your drivers are performing when you’re not there to watch them in person. At Cartrack Singapore, we’ve developed a driver scorecard system that uses AI tech to help you reduce risks brought on by dangerous driving. It helps you to improve safety and protect your brand as a company in Singapore.
Driver scorecards give you a clear picture of how your drivers behave on the road. Instead of guessing or relying on guesswork, you’ll have real data that highlights good driving habits, and ones that aren’t adhering to your company policies. You can then act on these habits before they turn into costly accidents.
In the past, driver rating systems were manual and somewhat subjective. Today, Cartrack’s AI-driven system is automatic and accurate, giving you cold hard facts that leave no room for bias. The best part is that you can develop your own demerit system that aligns with your company's policies.
Every unsafe event is recorded, which helps to highlight GOOD driving too! So your drivers will know that they’re accountable every time they get behind the wheel and by default, become more responsible on the road.
Singapore has strict traffic rules that must be adhered to. Violations of these laws can lead to heavy fines for your company, not to mention higher insurance premiums. For fleet managers, even one serious accident can mean disruptions to your business like lost cargo or damage to your reputation in the eyes of clients.
With the right coaching, you’ll cut down on accidents and improve both efficiency and safety. So ultimately, driver scorecards help you reduce risks by identifying unsafe behaviour and acting on it preemptively.
Here’s how different monitoring features work to protect your drivers and vehicles:
How much easier would it be to coach your drivers if you had their performance in black and white? With driver scorecards, you can:
It’s no surprise that more and more Singapore fleet managers are turning to Cartrack’s driver scorecard system to improve safety and profits, but how easy is it to use this system?
Every driver starts with 100 points. Unsafe actions deduct points depending on how serious they are. The system automatically adds up these “demerits” for each trip or over time, and converts them into an average score, giving you a big-picture view of each driver’s performance.
In summary: A score of 100 means a safe driver. The lower the score, the higher the risk. Want to find out how your own drivers are performing on the road? Contact Cartrack to implement this scoring system into your own fleet.
Weight categories of driver scorecards refer to the amount of points deducted for different dangerous actions. Some actions are only slightly dangerous, while others carry more “weight”, deducting more points. Here’s an example of the weight categories:
Important note: This is only an example of how you can set up your driver scorecard. The score can also be adjusted based on driving distance. Why? Because the longer you drive, the more likely you are to have a negative driving event on the road.
To determine the average results of a driver scorecard, here are the driving habits you can track:
Here’s an example of each of these driving behaviours and how they could be scored on the driver scorecard system according to your own personal tweaks:
Driving scorecards give you as the fleet manager all the information you need to identify room for improvement. At the same time, you can use this scoring system to incentivise your drivers and even spark some healthy competition between them. Having a big picture view of how they’re performing puts you in a position to coach your drivers more efficiently.
Using driver scorecards isn’t just about safety, it also gives you the means to grow your business and expand your fleet. Here’s how:
Unlike outdated systems, Cartrack’s driver scorecard gives you real-time insights, clear reports, and flexibility to set targets that fit the particulars of your business. It’s easy to use, fair to your drivers, and adapts to any particular needs your company has. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, but one that aims to suit your company perfectly!

Drivers can improve their score by driving safely and adhering to the speed limit at all times. They can also show consistent improvement by braking smoothly and not getting distracted while they drive. If you encourage your drivers to check their scores regularly, it will help them stay motivated.
It takes a few weeks to noticeably improve a driver score, but that’s only if real improvements are being made. Driver scorecard improvement depends on how quickly risky habits are corrected and how many opportunities the driver gets to prove themselves. With consistent effort, drivers can see improvement in just a few weeks.
No, managers can’t adjust driver scorecards manually. That’s because the system is automated and uses hard data to determine each driver’s performance in a fair and unbiased way. Scores are generated from objective AI-powered telematics data, and this data doesn’t show any favouritism.
Yes, driver scores can be used for disciplinary action, but only if that action is supported by data. You also need to set out clear company policies for your drivers, and initiate fair processes when these policies are violated. This will ensure compliance with Singapore’s employment laws.
