AARP SafeTrip™ APK for Android

A free utility app for drivers interested in safety

AARP SafeTrip™ is a free utility app that helps drivers to adjust their habits behind the wheel to enjoy safer motoring. The principle behind it is that it does not tell you what to do but monitors your time driving instead. It can then offer insights and feedback based on what it has learned to help you drive more safely.

For example, this app will monitor where you drive and when you do so. Crucially, it will check for speeding and other unwelcome habits, such as using your phone while driving or accelerating too much. It then rates how safe a driver you are, encouraging you to improve. Of course, it cannot force you to drive in a certain way.

Does the app help with a safe journey home?

This free app has been developed by AARP, the largest non-profit organization for the over-50s in the US. Alongside its Member Advantages app, this software aims to monitor drivers for their own good. Using it really changes some drivers' behaviors, even among those who thought they were careful motorists before they started using it. The app encourages safety.

How to use AARP SafeTrip™

Available for Android and iOS devices, this app is simple to download. Open it every time you get behind the wheel to record what you are doing while driving. Some devices will allow it to start when it detects you are traveling in a car automatically. After several trips, consult it to see what you might've done better.

Positive reinforcement for more sedate motoring

In common with software like MPT DriveHub, AARP SafeTrip™ is a handy way of learning more about how you actually perform at the wheel compared to how you think you do. In addition, it is practical and well-designed.
