Those bad drivers affect OUR stupid score game though.... that's a problem.
I think if you slow roll at a stoplight that might count in the “unsafe following” metric. When I got my unsafe following deal that’s about the only way I could have gotten it. When I came to a stop 3-4 car lengths back the rest of the time no more unsafe following.
All my categories are good except "unsafe following". I've been doing good drives now with 0 unsafe following time but my average is still stuck at 35.4%. It's been stuck at 35.4% for over a week. How do I fix my unsafe following time?
Here is my graph for "unsafe following": You can see I have 2 spikes but otherwise good. One was early before I could see my safety score on my app and I was new to how it works. The other one was when a semi truck cut in front of me on the highway. Maybe because the two spikes were so big, it will take longer to change the average?

I feel like my "unsafe following" is probably holding me back from a higher score. If I could fix the "unsafe following", I could probably get to 99.

I get a forward collision warning every day just for parking my car. I have a one stall garage and I get a warning because I am to close to the front... I also get a warning for parking at my office if I get within 2 feet from my fence. My commute is less than 15 min and I drive like an old lady. My score is 93 because I park my car. That's a messed up system.
I think Unsafe Following is only counted when going over 50 mph.
He tweeted with 99/100 scores.Oh yea? ALL people with 99? Lol. There are still people with 100 who are waiting.
Thanks. The 2 unsafe follow times I got were above 50 mph. That might explain why my average is stuck at 35.4% if it is not counting my good drives on city streets that are at speeds less than 50 mph. So basically I need to do more highway driving to get my score up?
How do I fix my unsafe following time?
I thought we answered this for you before? Spend more time following at 2-3 seconds on the freeway or at least above 50mph, off of AP. You just need to do this for a few minutes each drive, and as long as you are not a chronic tailgater, you’ll end up with low % here.
In any case that is NOT what is primarily hurting your score. It’s your FCW and the hard braking.
Unsafe following barely matters. Keep in below 5% but even much higher is not that big a deal unless your goal is 100 - plus it is super easy to fix - see above.
It’s by far the easiest metric to get very low numbers for - but it can be a struggle for chronic AP users.
Good luck. I made some minor edits above. Primary thing is to ignore the component values on the main page. They are of no consequence since they aren’t used directly to calculate your score. Focus on the daily values. But obviously should still keep unsafe following low on a daily basis, following the above procedure. Think of it as a daily task to bank some safe following early in the day (off of AP of course), and once you have a few minutes worth, you will be able to safely ignore it. (Keep an eye on your daily average of course.)Thanks.
That is what they said, but I never went over 50 and still got the ding.I think Unsafe Following is only counted when going over 50 mph.
This sort of spurious hit will also be solved by banking safe following time off of AP over 50mph. Of course spurious hits would be problematic if you never have an opportunity to travel at over 50mph on a given day - but that is fairly rare.That is what they said, but I never went over 50 and still got the ding.
Yeah, I’ve gotten one for well under 50. Car doing rapid decal in front of me that didn’t have functioning brake Lights.That is what they said, but I never went over 50 and still got the ding.
If those were on previous days, the aggregated unsafe following individual factor score doesn't matter for your overall score. You need days with a daily score higher than your overall (mileage-weighted averaged) score to get your score up. Theoretically, one could have all red individual factor scores from say day 1 with 1 mile driven then still have an overall score of 99 with 100 miles at 100 score in later days. If those 100 miles were on Autopilot, the factor scores (except FCW) would be unchanged and still showing red, but overall score would make you eligible.The 2 unsafe follow times I got were above 50 mph. … So basically I need to do more highway driving to get my score up?
