I'm still not even midway through my 3 month period using Safe Track to potentially lower my car insurance, but they HAVE nailed me for my first instance of "hard braking, low severity."
I can see not only the exact time of this incident but the location on a Google map when I log in and look at my Safe Track dashboard. I think I was on my way to BJs that morning. I vaguely remember another driver turning across my lane in front of me, but I didn't think it was that bad.
I really don't remember any hard braking then, though there was a squirrel that caused me to hard brake in another location, which I hope doesn't register, because the incident reduced my so-far savings from 23% to 20%.
At least I still have plenty of time left to make up for this, and to be more careful moving forward.
Right Track nailed me for hard braking, oops

It's hard to do this consistently becus if you leave too much room between you and the person ahead of you, the person behind you will start riding your bumper, getting impatient, etc. But i guess it's still up to us to drive in what we believe is a safe fashion.
