1. A method for tracking driving habits, comprising:

  • receiving an indication of an association of a personal device with a driver in a vehicle, the personal device being a telecommunications and computing device associated with a driver of the vehicle;

    determining that the driver is engaging in a suspect activity while driving;

    comparing the suspect activity with a severity scale indicative of a relative risk of the activity, comparing further comprising;

    determining a metric associated with the suspect activity;

    computing a first driving parameter associated with the determined metric;

    comparing the driving parameter to a statistical distribution, including a Cauchy distribution translated by a second driving parameter, of events of other drivers for the first driving parameter, the first driving parameter being a scalar quantity pertaining to vehicle motion and the second driving parameter based on ambient conditions; and

    concluding a high severity if the driving parameter is outside a predetermined range of the Cauchy distribution;

    computing a score based on the comparison; and

    reporting the determined suspect activity and the score to a repository for accumulating a renderable driving history of the driver indicative of distracted driving events.
