1. A method comprising:
identifying a user of a mobile device as a driver of a vehicle;
receiving motion data from at least one sensor of the mobile device;
correlating movement of the mobile device to a first driving trip in the vehicle based on the received motion data;
monitoring manipulation of the mobile device by the user in the vehicle using the at least one sensor of the mobile device;
computing a first overall driver score based on the user of the mobile device and a first driving score associated with the first driving trip, wherein the first driving score is computed using at least one driving event associated with a positive or negative behavior;
providing a behavior notification to the user of the mobile device, wherein providing the behavior notification comprises:
providing a first sensory alert that indicates a positive feedback responsive to determining that the first overall driver score is greater than a threshold; and
providing a second sensory alert that indicates a negative feedback responsive to determining that the first overall driver score is less than the threshold;
computing a second overall driver score based on the user of the mobile device and a second driving score associated with a subsequent trip; and
adjusting a subsequent behavior notification based on a comparison of the first overall driver score and the second overall driver score.
