Have you used one of these apps before? They capture a lot more than emergency stops, what I would classify as the above normal brake effort but not hard braking. Im sure the data exist to set the cutoff but its a lot more than “jam your foot on the pedal braking”.

It’s still out of the norm braking for my style of driver but from what I see on the road, people drive aggressively like this. Especially in the US.

What are these apps or devices? Where can I get one?

They are provided by your auto insurance company. A potential privacy nightmare, they track your movement. They also can get you a much lower rate.

If you don't want to go through your insurance company you can check out an app we built called RoadClub. You get points for safe driving behavior - and you can get the hard brake alerts. Is it a bit annoying? yes. You can't just drive agressively - you need to give space to slow down. I still struggle with it.

		Your faq doesn't mention anything about location data. I'd like to try it, but want to know about that first.
