SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING MOBILE DEVICE USAGE BY A DRIVER OF A VEHICLE

A method is implemented via execution of computing instructions configured to run on one or more processors and stored on one or more non-transitory computer-readable media. The method can include: receiving telematics data for a vehicle; analyzing the telematics data to make a first determination that a mobile electronic device of the user is in the vehicle, the vehicle is moving, and the vehicle is being driven by the user; making a second determination that the mobile electronic device of the user is not used, during a first vehicle trip of the vehicle, for any purpose other than pre-approved purposes; storing a first record in an electronic ledger, wherein the first record indicates the first vehicle trip occurred without use of the mobile electronic device for any purpose other than the pre-approved purposes; making a third determination that the mobile electronic device of the user is not used, during a second vehicle trip of the vehicle, for any purpose other than the pre-approved purposes; storing a second record in the electronic ledger, wherein the second record indicates the second vehicle trip occurred without use of the mobile electronic device for any purpose other than the pre-approved purposes; and transmitting a streak-increment notification to the mobile electronic device about a driving streak for the user. Other embodiments are disclosed.
