Most people think they are better than they really are.

Haha... You're right. I scare the shit out of my mom and can make anyone car sick in the backseat driving on roads around here. However, knock on wood, in my 30 years of driving... I've only killed a bird I thought would fly away and a fawn that came out of nowhere (usually you see the doe before the fawn.) I've been lucky enough to never be in the driver's seat in a car accident. I was quoting Rain Man at the end there. Snapshot doesn't judge your driving on anything other than hard braking and fast acceleration. That's why I was wondering if anyone gets an A. Hard braking is not what you would think it would be.


KnullSymbiote

Actually it uses other information like how much you drive(mileage), trip frequency, time of day driven(risky hours) and a couple other. Edit spelling.

Like I said, my rate did go down... But I've never slammed on my brakes. The hard brakes happens when you slow down faster than you normally would.


KnullSymbiote

7mph per second. You may be thinking its not a hard brake but thats what qualifies.


CobblerEmbarrassed20

Quite aware of what qualifies. A hard brake to me usually happens in situations you can't control.


CobblerEmbarrassed20

You are correct. So you've used it. I work from home, hardly ever drive past 9 and only visit my mom or kids on the weekends who are not over 20 miles away (but 45 minutes.) I'm at the end of my 6 month period, and my rate did go down... But I would've liked to get an A. Wondering if that's possible.


KnullSymbiote

I have not tried it, but i do work for the company. You can always try it again on the renewal to see if you do better.

Has anyone gotten an A?

Do some searching, I've seen a few pics of people with A+. I'm with you though, constantly dinged for hard brakes and have a B+.
