    I think it’s about frequency. If you break hard because other drivers are shit, you’ll do so at a rate comparable to others. If you break hard more frequently, then you are probably the problem.

      It at least wasn’t when they first implemented it (when you plugged it into your OBD2 port for a “discount” on insurance). Any time you braked over some threshold, it would beep at you

      Riding with a friend who had one, he’d always get way too close to other cars when slowing down because he didn’t want to brake too hard
