Apple iPhone 3G owners have the opportunity to 'rate' their driving skills through an Application by State Farm, an insurance company. The application gives tips on how to improve your driving and scores your overall performance accordingly. The application uses an accelerometer & GPS location system which measures hard acceleration, hard deceleration and hard swerves - three of the riskiest driving behaviours according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Not to worry, State Farm are not archiving any data that has been received or recorded, it is an application that is for 'entertainment purposes only' and will not impact insurance rates. After your journey, the application makes recommendations and advises where you could improve your driving skills. Using the GPS mapping system, it is able to flag certain areas of your journey that you have driven which may have caused you to score lower.
This gets a thumbs up from us! What is your opinion?
