@mskakala Thanks for appreciating our app. Indeed, texting while driving is very very dangerous.
Competing with friends will soon be available, currently you can compete with random users. Just drive a bit (to earn a few points) and hit Play (from the app menu). If you stand better than the opponent, you get some of his points :)
Amazing idea! My younger brother is a new driver and I will make sure he uses this.
The only advice I can give is to make sure users are getting intrinsic value from your product (aside from the monetary rewards). It seems like you've nailed that down with the gamification and "play" aspect. Brilliant stuff.
@paramjaggi Thank you for the kind words, your comment is "fuel" for us to make the app even greater.
We are looking for other ways for our users to spend their points - by sharing with other users that arrive safely at their destination (parents and their kids), or donating to social causes.

Genuinely thought through and creatively orchestrated. If I had kids, they would be on this. I don't text and drive thus have no need to use, but this is sheer brilliance and I wish more startups took this real world approach. Myself included. Awesome job. Website and app both look great too.
@paultomkinson Thanks a lot for the great words. Even if you are a responsible driver, think of just using SafeDrive to earn points and improve your daily / weekly expenses (e.g. half price Starbucks coffee).
By the way, Starbucks would be a great partner :)
Dear Product Hunters,
We are actively looking for external funding (we've self-funded until now) in order to faster scale and further grow the community of safedrivers.
In case you know someone interested in what we do, please put us in contact.
Thank you in advance!

Brilliant idea! the use of gamification is a long winner in reducing car accidents - way to go guys - I'd love to see vendors and marketing in Israel!
@arielcohen Thanks for appreciating what we do. By gamifing the driving experience, we are definitely decreasing the car accidents.
We'd love to get in contact with some Israeli companies, so please do share them :)
Again, thanks a lot!
@helencrozier We actually have a business developer who is soon to close our first partner here. If you have some suggestions, please share them with us.
