Drive Score Optimization: How to Improve Fast

Use feedback and data insights to boost your score after every trip.

Introduction

Your drive score is the foundation of your rewards in LETSTOP. It determines how many credits you earn and how fast you progress through levels. Improving your score does not require long trips or complicated techniques. It requires understanding how the app measures your driving and making small adjustments that add up quickly.

How Your Score Is Calculated

LETSTOP focuses on a single question during each drive: how much did you interact with your phone. Every touch creates a data point that reduces your final score. This system keeps scoring fair and easy to understand.

  • Zero touches gives you a perfect score
  • Touch clusters show distracted moments
  • Short drives may not qualify for scoring
  • The app does not track what you tap, only that the screen was touched. This keeps scoring simple and privacy friendly.

    Using Trip Insights to Improve

    After each drive, the app generates a visual map of your touch events. This is one of the most powerful tools for improvement. It shows you exactly where touches happened so you can identify patterns.

  • Touches at the beginning often indicate late preparation
  • Touches in traffic indicate habit based reactions
  • Touches near your destination may reflect multitasking
  • Most drivers see a clear improvement within the first week simply by reviewing this map and correcting one pattern at a time.

    Quick Fixes That Improve Your Score Fast

    These adjustments provide immediate improvements and are based on how the app reads activity.

  • Set your navigation before you start moving
  • Start your music playlist in advance
  • Use a stable phone mount so bumps do not create false touches
  • Disable tap sensitive widgets on your home screen
  • Advanced Optimization Tips

    As you gain experience with the app, you can take advantage of deeper features that help stabilize your score.

  • Turn on Do Not Disturb to keep notifications silent
  • Activate Background Tracking so trips start automatically
  • Switch to voice activated commands for navigation updates
  • These tools reduce the need to touch your screen in situations where distractions are most common.

    Tracking Progress Over Time

    LETSTOP stores all your drive scores so you can monitor your improvement week after week. Watching your average score climb is one of the best indicators of progress.

  • Look for reduced touch points across similar routes
  • Compare weekday and weekend driving patterns
  • Check how your average score responds to new habits
  • Build Better Habits, Unlock More Rewards

    The better your score, the faster you earn credits and progress through levels. Once you consistently maintain high scores, you can begin exploring car upgrades and membership plans to amplify the rewards you receive for each trip.
