Safe drive is utter garbage.
It used to be pretty accurate when it came to monitoring trips. But even now I never touch or use my phone when driving. I keep it plugged in for car play and tucked away it will constantly say I was using it. Even though GEICO admits they can’t really know when you do or don’t use your phone. I’ve even done test runs where I am super light on my brakes and at times will still call it a hard brake. For years my score was a 99 with no phone use ever and braking. They changed something that it is constantly saying there was phone use. Even though the phone is locked and sitting away secured. And even after adjusting for trips where I was the passenger the overall score drops and stays that way. I can’t tell if this change was intentional but it’s frustrating being how absolutely careful I am with driving. And the fact that I NEVER use my phone when I do drive. If GEICO can’t truly know if you’ve used your phone or not then the app has no business determining if phone use is a factor. Whatever changes they made need to be fixed because this is ridiculous. No matter how careful I am and regardless if my phone is in my pocket, or mounted away and locked the app will still try to claim at times I used it.
