Steer clear is extremely sensitive!! Before I did it I read an review that said to get anyway near 100% you had to drive like you were afraid of the pedals and IT WAS RIGHT! I am a good driver and while using and doing the app I have tried to be extra cautious of slow acceleration and slow braking. I braked so perfectly that you couldn’t really feel the car stop. I told my mom and made her come in a drive with me to see how I was driving. She couldn’t believe the scores it was giving me for how well I was driving. Also if your phone moves the tiniest bit, it won’t grade it!! I loss 30 minutes of driving and it wouldn’t score it because my phone moved! It consistently gave me a 50%. I accelerated so slow that cars around me would get annoyed and the app would tell me that I had a rapid acceleration. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! I only did it so I could get a discount and go on random drives so I can meet the time limit and get done with it as soon as possible. No matter how perfectly you drive you will get a low grade.

The app need some serious modifying. It is completely inaccurate the majority of the time. It scores your braking, cornering, and acceleration completely different every time you drive in spite of the fact that you drive the same way or better each trip.
In my opinion, if you’ve got your permit, drove with a licensed adult for a year, completed Drivers Ed, and obtained your state drivers license you should not have to compete a 5 hour driving log to get this certificate. You should simply answer the questions in the 5 sections and then get the discount. My son did all the above steps and yet we had to wait until he got 5 hours worth of driving logged to get a certificate which we then had to make a trip back to the insurance office to turn in, just to get the discount on his premiums.

We have contacted State Farm three times because it’s not recording the drive once it turns off at 30 minutes. It’s supposed to record up to 30 min and provide a grade. If you manually turn it off at 30 minutes then it records the grade. But that’s a pain. And, they don’t have a way to recall your drive or the grade.

We also noticed that if you drive on an interstate with stop lights, it gives you a poor grade due to acceleration. Driving the same way on a regular road, the grade difference is 20 points higher.

Same applies on the free way. They ding you for accelerating. It’s a free way, I’m guessing you should ease on? I provided my number so they could contact me for additional feedback but no one called. I think they need to do more testing in different driving conditions.

If it wasn’t for the potential discount, I would not have my child complete this course. This is my second child completing the course. My second child is a far better driver than my oldest and is a lot more conscious of the things it’s measuring and it just seems like there is a great disparity in the calculations.
