I'm a little old lady on the road. I ate a windshield some 50 years ago and was lucky to survive. Not my fault, but that matters not.
I haven't had a moving violation for over 35 years.
But yet, this past year my wife found an app on the Progressive website (called 'Snapshot') that we have downloaded, and get a little discount because of it. The app is on our phones, and kicks itself into life when the vehicle is put in motion. It monitors speed, sudden braking, rapid acceleration, and a few other driving behaviors. There is no active warning, but an insurance client can get access to their report(s) if so desired.
Younger me would have screamed against such a monitor, but oulde me doesn't care. Because I am BORING on the road. I never wear out brakes or tires, nor am I on any radar for aggressive driving behavior. I LIKE my discount.
I mention this because it may be something Kirby and the UGA Athletic Department might consider requiring on the cars of its players. They are, after all, employees of the University. Just a little suggestion. I'm well aware of the resistance to such a requirement. Still..... c'mon guys (and girls). What else has to happen?
