> t also has this eco game thing, where you earn “points” when you drive efficiently, and it penalizes you for driving inefficiently (hard acceleration, braking instead of coasting, inconsistent speed). This “game” has transformed the way I drive, it should be in every car.
If it also earns a driver "points" for not impeding other traffic
while driving efficiently, and penalizes a driver for blocking
other vehicles that want to pass, when the driver could safely
move to a space in a non-passing lane, then it might be welcomed
by many drivers.
IMHO, the main reason that Prius drivers have a reputation
for driving selfishly while hypermiling is that Toyota put
the current MPG in big numbers on the default display screen,
and many Prius drivers got into the habit of optimising their
driving for a lager MPG number, to the exclusion of being
aware of other traffic on the road.
- jbob2000 8y agoI don’t care about the assholes who tailgate. I watch them tailgate me and also the sports cars racing up on the passing lane. Rushers are going to rush, let them get frustrated and do their thing. I am relaxed, safe, and happy.
