I was using it and was getting additional discounts, however it didn't always turn on and sometimes when it did, it tried to detect a trip, but couldn't find one and gave me an error message. It checked my speed (would flag anything over 79mph), the time of day I'm driving, and hard braking. Since the speed limit on highways around here is 70, I'd think driving under 80 is a reasonable expectation. I think it pinged me once, because I was passing someone, and someone else was on my tail and I just wanted to get out of their way and in front of the guy I was passing, so went up to around 85.
I feel no guilt about that, and I didn't have to pay extra insurance, I just didn't get the extra discount that month. I still have the "safe driver" discount.
