Could be awesome with proper implementation. Which means every level of gov't will fuck it up in every way possible and you'll have intersections with all the lights being perma-red.

I'll trust that to work once we remove drivers from the equation.

QUOTE QUOTE I've always said there should be a penalty for people who cause traffic due to recklessness. I'd love to be able to track down and assign responsibility for that, but it's goddamn near impossible. Â I'd settle for the cops pulling over people who are driving in the passing lanes yet seem to get overtaken by everyone to around them.
I envisioned an app. Someone drives like an idiot, causes traffic problems. Cop says, "Yep, you suck," and activates the penalty. Tard loses X, and everyone running that app in that traffic jam receives share of X. Fuck man, even 2 bucks would improve my mood, just knowing the tard got dinged for some cash. There needs to be some sort of recompense when one fucking idiot costs 5000 people 20 minutes each, and not just some fine to the city for reckless driving.

Yeah, it's tricky. But it sure would be nice.

I did the Progressive one. I could basically track every car online within about 20 minutes of whatever action. Shows time, speed, breaking, how hard the breaking was, and time traveled.
After a few months they told be I could send the transmitters back and they knocked about 20% off my bill.

How do they know if you had to come to a screeching halt because of your dumb ass or the dude in front of you driving his antique 1983 Buick Skylark?

Doesn't matter, and the criteria for what constituted a "hard brake" was pretty tight. For the time the sensor was in my car I had to make much more gradual stops in my speed than I was used to. Like, you had a 75% full bucket of water in your front seat and didn't want to spill it.
The more "hard brakes" you had, the less of a discount you would get.

Interesting. I wonder where they got the "good driver" gold standard criteria.
