Driving under the influence of alcohol, remains a key area where awareness amongst young drivers is needed, with alcohol currently a factor in 38% of fatal crashes on Irish roads.<\/p>\n<p>To help combat these concerning trends and the escalating road premiums which face today\u2019s young drivers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxymo.ie\/\">BoxyMo.ie <\/a>created a game which alerts young drivers to these dangerous driving behaviours.<\/p>\n<p>Players are challenged to drive on a virtual road for as long as possible with one point being awarded for every second of driving. The difficulty of play changes frequently through real-life driving scenarios such as changing weather conditions and hazardous objects.<\/p>\n<p>If players don\u2019t successfully combat the obstacles they are knocked out, meaning only the safest and most skilled drivers will make it onto the nationwide leaderboard each week and are eligible to win a range of prizes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxymo.ie\/\">BoxyMo.ie\u00a0<\/a> entered the market as Ireland\u2019s first dedicated telematics insurer in 2013 with premiums based on actual driver behaviour. This scalable approach sees a telematics device fitted behind the dashboard of a car and rewards good driving by keeping costs of insurance down.<\/p>\n<p>By avoiding risky driving behaviours such as harsh acceleration and braking, responsible motorists can avoid paying high premiums and save on insurance costs. Typically, customers experience savings of c. 20% compared to those not based on telematics by exhibiting positive driving behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>The thinking behind the game compliments <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxymo.ie\/\">BoxyMo.ie\u00a0<\/a>\u2019s mission to reward safe drivers and offer lower insurance premiums. By compelling players to consider potential dangers when driving, this awareness can alter real-life driving behaviour.<br \/>\nTo play the game visit,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxymo.ie\/game\/\">www.boxymo.ie\/game<\/a>\u00a0and keep up to date with the leaderboard follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxymo.ie\/\">BoxyMo.ie\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BoxyMo_ie\">Twitter\u00a0<\/a>or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BoxyMo.ie\/\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>11th August, 2017<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new online game hopes to educate young drivers about road safety by testing their abilities to handle challenging driving scenarios The game is available to play free at www.boxymo.ie\/game and is playable on mobile, desktop and tablets.
