Totally get where you're coming from—those apps can definitely make you feel like you're back in driver's ed, anxiously checking your mirrors every few seconds. But to be fair, I've seen them help some folks become more mindful drivers over time (myself included). Maybe the trick is finding one that's a bit more forgiving about sudden braking in bad weather? Or just accepting a slightly lower score and moving on...after all, nobody's perfect behind the wheel, right?
Yeah, I hear you on the anxiety those apps can cause. Honestly, I've tried a couple myself, and it felt like I was being judged every time I tapped the brakes too hard or took a corner a bit quick. But you're right—maybe it's about finding one that's less strict about stuff like weather conditions or sudden stops. Or just accepting that my driving style isn't exactly "insurance app friendly," haha. Either way, props to you for sticking with it and becoming more mindful...maybe I'll give it another shot someday.
"Or just accepting that my driving style isn't exactly 'insurance app friendly,' haha."
Haha, totally relate to this. I tried one of those apps for a discount once, but after a week of feeling like I had a backseat driver silently judging me, I decided the savings weren't worth the stress. Curious though—anyone found an app that's actually forgiving about city driving?
I gave one of those apps a shot when I first got insurance—figured it'd help me save a bit. But after it dinged me for braking too hard at a yellow light downtown (seriously?), I realized city driving and insurance apps just don't mix, haha.
I get where you're coming from, city driving can be tricky with those apps. But honestly, I've found they're not all bad. If you mostly cruise on weekends or quieter roads, they can actually save you a decent chunk. Just gotta pick your battles carefully...
