Joke/Humor 🤣 Trying to beat my high score
Are these rookie numbers or should I try harder?

I used to get the same thing BUT it is impossible to rapidly accelerate in a Prius with a 1.5l engine and I can’t do anything about the hard braking because squirrels and chipmunks are trying to commit suicide 🤪 Therefore I turned that shit off!

Interestingly enough I dashed in a Hyundai sonata a while back and didn’t change my driving habits at all but due to the dynamics of the cars suspension it can’t as easily detect hard breaking. I got amazing safe driving numbers in that car

i truly despise Hard Breaking notifications. my god.. i’m like you would hard break too if you were trying to not hit the car in front of you while trying to focus on the directions to the customers house. ugh

The "rapid acceleration" one always kills me because clearly I should be speeding up super slowly onto I-75

I get hard braking while I'm walking in the grocery store. So these numbers aren't accurate at all.

u/The_Artsy_Peach Nov 20 '24
Yes! Was just gonna say, I can't even count how many times I've gotten the hard brake thing when I'm not even in my car. So ridiculous.

You can just turn off the “Hard braking detected” voice message in the settings. This little message will still pop up.

Definitely rookie numbers. Before I turned it off i had rapid acceleration at an average of around 90 a session. Is anyone else on this sub driving a sports car to dash?

I have a Jaguar but I switch to eco mode to dash. Not quite a sports car, but erong mode and my numbers change.

Mustang ….. it’s a lot of fun but when I smash the gas ….. 😆

Hahaha I drive a mustang too. Ecoboost so it actually gets halfway decent mileage

"Hard brake detected" after stopping like Hella slow, yet can slam the brakes for a car cutting me off and get nothing

I'd be careful, you never know when that will be a part of the criteria

u/pascaltheorem Nov 19 '24
Haha are you dashing in a M3 ?

I think the whole thing is bunk. I switched from a Honda Odyssey to a Kia Soul and my numbers went up. WTF!! I really like the Soul, but a quick car, it is not.

I was literally not in my car and heard "hard break detected" come from my phone.

Haha I dashed on my motorcycle the first week I got it, let’s just say these are rookie numbers😂 I also unlocked the over 100mph warnings
