It totally is. The problem is that what constitutes reckless driving is a black box established and controlled by the very same entity that charges you for that.
I read a comment on HN some time ago about using sudden deceleration to identify reckless driving, and how that mistakenly flagged drivers for avoiding other people's reckless behavior.

Otherwise, it’s just tattling on you to a third party. OP is correct. This is a stupid angle to attack non-consensual monitoring from that undermines the article’s credibility.
- mslate 2y agoHaving to drive defensively to avoid other people’s recklessness is a signal that you’re operating your vehicle in a higher risk traffic environment. Insurance already differs by geography, that sounds like more accurate pricing of risk. Bad drivers raise everyone’s collective insurance costs.
