Hard Brake/Acceleration Stats

[vancealot29]

Just curious what other drivers hard brake and hard acceleration stats are per the MyChevrolet app.  In about two months of using the app, I have 16 hard brakes and 32 hard accelerations in 3700 miles, or one HB every 230 miles and one HA every 115 miles.  My wife has earned a couple of these, but I don't have the time to log who is earning what.

 

I  like to think I drive my truck with a light right foot, but am curious to see some stats on other drivers, especially some of the hard acceleration numbers on the 6.2 guys.  The majority of my hard accelerations are from pulling out of my neighborhood onto a 60 MPH road, where most routinely go 70+.

 

What are you best (worst) scores?

Compared to mine, your numbers are very good. But the reality is it doesn’t take a whole lot to trigger a hard braking or hard acceleration event. I don’t even pay any attention to it.

I agree.  I just like to review when I have a few minutes.  Does anyone know how either metric is defined?  I know when I worked at a trucking company 10 years ago, I thought it was an increase/decrease of greater than 7 MPH within 1 second.  Not sure if that standard has changed or what GM uses.

Where do you find this on the app? Just started using the app and don’t see it.

In the main app screen, look for Driving Activity.  It's the 5th one down the list for me.  Then you can click around to look at driving stats by trip, day, week, month.

It is not on the GMC app , Just on the Chevrolet app

Weird it isn’t on my Chevy app anywhere.

Maybe, but not on https://my.gm.ca/gmc/en/myvehicle/

I think it is an American thing only.

Why should I care; won't have any effect on the way I drive?

 

This app was designed for insurance companies not for drivers.

And this is why I am unhooking the on-star antenna.  Soon your insurance company will demand this info.

Tracking is turned on but I’ve got no data. Had the truck a month. Am I missing something?

Back in Nov I posted that my truck did not have this feature. Last week my truck did a firmware/Software update and then the next day my app on my phone did an update and I now have it. 

 

I love how "hard acceleration" is not a factor in calculating your score. LOL
