As part of my recent negotiations to get a better price on my automobile insurance, I agreed to be part of a plan called "Know Your Drive." Ultimately, if I prove that I'm a consistently good driver, I'll get an additional 10% deduction on my rate. I followed Instructions and installed the app on my phone, then forgot to turn it on the first time I went driving. Imagine my surprise when I checked later and discovered the app had automatically started tracking my drives. On the first day, it tracked my two drives, to and from a store, and also my two rides to and from lunch with a friend. I was intrigued to see that the app could tell when I was driving and when I was just riding along. It also shows me little maps of where I've been. So far, all of my drives have been rated "distraction free" which is good. Of course when almost all of my drives are within five miles of down town Fort Wayne, it's pretty easy to drive safely, and I can't really speed. I must admit though, I think it's just a little creepy to know I'm being tracked. Although, who knows what other apps are tracking me all the time? I wonder if it will track my trip when I fly to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks?
