- What does ‘comparative speed’ stand for?

It’s our measure of speed. It measures your speed in comparison to other road users. It doesn’t take speed limits into account. If our feedback suggests you are performing poorly on ‘comparative speed’ it means you are driving faster than other users of that road.
