1. A method of selectively transmitting alerts based on monitored behavior of a driver, the method comprising:
calculating, by one or more processors, a driver score for the driver based on a set of driving events, wherein each driving event of the set of driving events was detected from sensor data captured while a vehicle was operated by the driver, and wherein each driving event of the set of driving events is associated with a driving behavior in at least one driving scenario of a plurality of driving scenarios;
assigning, by the one or more processors, the driver to a category based on the driver score, wherein the category is one of a plurality of categories;
determining, by the one or more processors, that a change in a habitual driving behavior by the driver in a monitored driving scenario would result in reassignment of the driver to another category of the plurality of categories, wherein the monitored driving scenario is a driving scenario of the plurality of driving scenarios;
detecting, by the one or more processors, from second sensor data captured by a vehicle operated by the driver, a driving event that is associated with the monitored driving scenario;
generating, by the one or more processors, an alert responsive to detecting the driving event having occurred, wherein the alert communicates that the change in the habitual driving behavior by the driver in the monitored driving scenario would result in reassignment of the driver to another category; and
transmitting, by the one or more processors, the alert to the vehicle operated by the driver based upon the determination that the change in the habitual driving behavior by the driver in the monitored driving scenario would result in reassignment of the driver to another category.
