1. A computer-implemented method for incentivizing usage of safety devices in vehicles, the method comprising:
determining, by a processor, a trend of an operator of a vehicle in using a safety device while operating the vehicle by comparing instances in which the safety device is used by the operator of the vehicle to instances in which the vehicle is in motion;
calculating, by the processor, a safety score associated with the operator of the vehicle based upon the trend of the operator of the vehicle in using the safety device while operating the vehicle;
comparing, by the processor, the safety score associated with the operator of the vehicle to one or more safety scores associated with operators of other vehicles to determine a ranking indicating how well the safety score associated with the operator of the vehicle ranks among the one or more safety scores associated with the operators of the other vehicles; and
providing, by the processor, a notification to the operator of the vehicle indicating the ranking.
