True lane

Is anybody else experiencing false readings on TrueLane? I keep getting hard breaking reading and having points deducted when this happens. I can drive 50-100 trip without any driving issues and not receive any added points but if the app thinks I’m hard breaking it deduct 2-3 points off my score. Is this app rigged??? I think it is.

I see I’m not alone.  I can remember hard braking exactly one time since I started using the app, (squirrel), but I’ve had five two-star braking notices in the past week, alone.  Yet my score is at 95, so it’s anyone’s guess what’s going on.

Mark, totally agree with you, both my wife and I are getting hit with hard braking when there is no hard braking. On my trip today I had to stop for a quick light change, had to press the brake but certainly not hard. Their app gave me one star, and knocked down my overall score by 3 points. I try not to run yellow lights, but this app almost encourages you to do so. Something is not right with their braking scores.

Mark the true lane app is absolutely rigged. My score goes down on days I don’t drive. From Jan. 1st to April 10 I took 124 recorded trips and had 119 “5 Star “ no event trips and my score went down. I just spent the week in the hospital and my score went down while not driving. In the six months on the app 90-95% of my trips have been rated 5 star and my true lane score is a 75 and this is what the Hartford uses to rate the renewal policy. Absolutely a fraud. 

Absolutely agree. I can have countless five star trips and never have an increase in my score, but one false reading of hard braking, which I never do, and my score goes down three points. As well, I work from home and it is very rare that I drive during the week at all and my score will go down when I’m not driving. You would think having my vehicle safe and protected in my garage and rarely driving would make me the kind of customer the Hartford would want and make my score go up significantly, but no.  I also find that my score starts dropping with these hard braking events when it comes time to renew my policy.  Very disappointing. I’m thinking about purchasing a camera for my vehicle so that I have evidence of the discrepancies between my actual driving and the apps reporting.

Weigh in folks with your scores and whether you feel it reflects the way you actually drive. I know there must be many of you that feel the same way I do about TrueLane.
