Your score is

The DSR measures your driving safety based on your record, rewarding safe drivers with discounts and penalizing those with traffic violations or at-fault accidents. Every driver starts at a neutral level and can move up or down the scale depending on their behavior. Lower-risk drivers enjoy reduced insurance premiums, while higher-risk individuals pay increased fees. Maintaining a clean driving record is essential for favorable DSR levels, making it vital to drive safely, follow traffic laws, and avoid collisions or infractions.
