One of our cars has a built in tracker thing. Tried it out, it says I'm a better driver than my wife (I knew better than to tell her that). That said, a LOT of times I'd get a 0 score. I don't drive recklessly, in fact the last claim I had was back in the 90s (around 98-99, someone hit me in a parking lot...got a payout that bought us our first washer/dryer). I do sometimes drive defensively...leave too much room between you and the car in front, and everyone swerves in, making it more dangerous than if I left half a car length (I'm exaggerating...barely). You might say...just drive slower, what's the rush? No rush at all...but now everyone is making a point trying to rear end me constantly. Speeding up, almost hitting me, swerving at the last minute, dashing around, swerve in front, hit brakes...it's quite predictable really. Sometimes you just gotta drive crazy to be safe. Plus those little black boxes don't care if you hit the brakes so you wouldn't run a red light...just coast on through, almost hitting the side traffic...that's safe! Apply the brakes with moderate force so you stop at the line instead of clearly running a red light, and you got people almost rear ending you and honking madly as they fly past you, nearly wiping out someone who pulled out because the light turned green for them.
I hate Houston traffic. There's even a section I try to avoid because EVERY SINGLE TIME I see someone almost get into an accident. Just the other day the gps routed me there, but the exit was just before the really bad spot, so I figured I'd be ok. Nope, just ahead of me someone swerved over to take the exit, nearly causing a wreck. If you're from the area, you probably know where I'm talking about...except I bet there's multiple such spots. Area I'm talking about is US-59N just before the I-610 interchange. EVERY TIME there's at least one near miss, if not more than one.
