Arity’s Safer-Than-Average Driver Survey
Arity surveyed 1,000 US drivers and found that 85% think they’re safer than average, even though 82% admitted to a risky driving habit. The striking gap gives insurers a human, slightly uncomfortable hook for discussing telematics: drivers may not see their own behaviour clearly, but a driving score could show them.
Why it worked: It weaponized the “better-than-average” paradox with fresh, ownable data, tying a cognitive bias to a concrete telematics solution and timing.
The lesson: Consider fielding a quick poll exposing a common self-delusion, then offer a measurable fix your product uniquely quantifies or resolves.
