I wanted to see if there was an alternative to my GEICO pricing.
So I switched to Progressive and wanted to take advantage of every discount available. Snapshot is a device that you plug in under your dashboard. It measures miles driven, timed traveled, maximum speed, hard braking, etc.
The very first trip I went around the block to do some shopping. Drove like an old lady on the way to church. It registered a "hard braking" incident. Completely ridiculous.
Wifey takes her car out and got two hard braking incidents.
Apparently if your speed reduces 7mph or more in one second then a "hard braking" incident is recorded. So if an azzhole cuts you off and you have to brake then "it's your fault" for hard breaking. If a kid runs into the road and you have to stop quickly "it's your fault" because you prevented a death.
