A system and method are disclosed to promote good driving among users. A user-customizable good driving (GD) wish list may be created, populated, modified, and/or used to promote good driving. The GD wish list may be used in conjunction with a vehicle telematics unit (VTU) to monitor, process, detect, and/or record good driving events, and communicate and/or generate positive feedback for the user. In addition to positive feedback, good driving (GD) points may be accumulated based on driving behavior. The accumulated GD points may be used in conjunction with a product and/or service offering, such as by an insurance company. Furthermore, in some examples, the system encourages users to promote good driving behavior by pledging themselves to a challenging GD wish list that will earn them more GD points and the associated benefits.
