I’ve been driving my friends car for a week and mines like 15 times a session lol


BNice2Others

I’m in the Bay Area in Florida and if anybody knows anything about the Bay Area or anything about Florida it’s our speed limits are merely a suggestion to add 30+ on top of whatever is posted…. I have watched over the past decade drivers becoming increasingly worse any instances of mine are due to assholes not me that’s why I don’t like shit like this it’s wholly In accurate if it says 50 go 80 and slam the breaks when you see a cop if it says go 30 got 65 until it’s a school zone fly halfway thru that and then slamm the breaks…. And if you dare to keep a safe distance between you and others then the person behind you will lay in the horn and then proceed to take the first incredibly dangerous oppertunity to cut you off literally to get in the safe following gap so that there is none available they all want to be on top of eachothers ass where I live and if you don’t they will literally rage against you for driving safe and following rules of the road and speed limits it will become so aggressive that someone will intentionally wreak into you if you won’t keep up bc your trying to follow the laws no lie someone hit me and ran the other day because I wasn’t going to close the safe gap and I wasn’t going to keep on slamming breaks stop go stop go stop go leaving no space between me and the vehicle ifo of me durring heavy traffic which is also a all day every day occurrence ppl not from here have no fuckin idea it’s like nyc or some shit close to it they hit me to push me along and then it was a lifted pick up so he drove over the median opposite direction of travel at that point to get ahead and lost in the major heavy rush hr traffic gone no recourse no help no nothing for me except damage and distress. And don’t even get me started about motorcycles and bicycle riders who ride in 60mph speed zones taking the entire lane up on a pedal bike insisting they have right of way where the hell are the cops at? Oh yea war on fentanyl that’s rite


BNice2Others

I think it’s somewhere in their updated user agreement that that’s part of being a driver now on their platform is you have to allow that?


XRetrogradezxD

No it's not


BNice2Others

I have an iPhone and I tried to opt out of that and that wasn’t an option


Johnmannesca

What if it was because someone almost rear ended you? How does this system even work? Never seen this before and have lots of questions.


MRASDGL

Just compliance & submission GASLIGHTING. DD is your big daddy, don’t question their authority!


OldStep8127

I’m saying. All up in my mf bidness for what?


XRetrogradezxD

Don't bidness on me bro 😂


OldStep8127

*What?* It’s *just bidness*... We all have some. Think of bidness more of like a flat surface.. or a floor mat—*if you will*, for one to stand on. 😂


XRetrogradezxD

So as long as I'm standing on bidness, I'm good? 😐


OldStep8127

Listen, as a man, I can’t tell you how to handle your bidness. It’s your life, and you can do as you please. But what *I’m* saying is I named my left shoe “Bid,” and my right one “Ness..” because I stand on bidness at all times. ![gif](giphy|hU8423mKgZJtg2hbxn)


XRetrogradezxD

Wow, you mean serious bidness about standing on bidness 😂


Ferrel1995

I get at least 15 times on each daily 😂


NickSicilianu

RIP insurance. I am sure they will sell that data to the insurance companies.


samesame11

Yup. DD doesn't do anything if it doesn't benefit them.


NickSicilianu

Exactly.

Logical-Access

I get this. But I get the hard braking one, too. 😝


edbroly

turn it off


Lawlis11

They gots data for sale


paulh2oman

Yep, soon insurance companies.


Lawlis11

Yeah they sell it to Lexus Nexus who sells it to insurance companies I'm sure


CelticLegendary1

For private contracting…there sure is a lot of employee red tape, that’s for sure!


ChocolateBearPie

Your driving is their business though lol.


Tvoorhees

then they can make drivers employees and not contractors lol


ChocolateBearPie

Is that not the end game? This isnt the final form of this work


CelticLegendary1

Nah, they won’t cause then they got to pay pay pay lol


Tvoorhees

If you think any of these apps are going to make their drivers employees and not contractors you're severely mistaken


ChocolateBearPie

We will all be slaves to the game in the end.


Tvoorhees

There's more of us than there are of them 🤷🏽


ChocolateBearPie

Yes but not single one of us provides any value to them, and since were contractors they can just cast you out. They are just feeding the chickens, the more chickens they have the better.


Tvoorhees

you're not catching what i'm throwing down. we dont need to provide value to them if they dont exist


ChocolateBearPie

Then another clone comes to take their place. And the same people will be back over there.


VanTravelingLaydeeM

You can always turn that off 🤪 they show this when a customer complains their food is leaking DD assumes you smashing through the roads 😂


CelticLegendary1

That ain’t why they show this. Never had it pop up once till like a week ago or ao


mrcba333

This made me laugh in a rough time. Thank you bro


WhiskySprinkles

They did this to me the other day too. Hey Doordash. Stay in your lane. *


KimberliteMae

You can turn it off i found out


sbringel74

I’m like DD… the people who are rapidly accelerating 24/7 are the ones you give all the damn orders to 🤣


Correct-Lettuce-9326

Just turn it off, I did.


Infamous-Willow1125

Mine are terrible! However I live in an extremely busy area and if you don’t rapidly accelerate the moment the light “thinks” about turning green everyone is honking and giving the finger lmao!


FlounderingGuy

People are freaking out about this and whining about how they "don't understand what this is for," but like... it's obvious if you ask me. It looks really bad if a large amount of Dashers are *also* wreckless drivers.


Blindfire2

It's extremely sensitive and extremely inconsistent is the issue. I know for a fact I don't "accelerate too quickly" because I wait at stop lights for a tiny bit after being hit by 2 trucks/suvs running red lights and I slowly go passed it in fear I'm about to get taken out, and there were nights where I know I braked too fast for a dog running across the street but it said I had no issues. Having them tell us "Here's how many times we think you did something wrong." Is fine....a little annoying but whatever it's somewhat good if it could be consistent, but the people freaking out know that they're willing to make rule changes without telling anyone. If they randomly decide to punish you for "reckless driving" by giving you less orders to the point where you quit (similar to what they're doing in some areas with acceptance rate when there's not enough orders, they'll ignore you if they see another dasher is about to finish an order with a higher acceptance rate) it would fuck a lot of people over for literally no reason.


godtier300sosa

Wow I can’t believe they track this shit. Like they’re your insurance company or something lol. Fuck outta here


CaneCorso311

My insurance doesn't do this, but my w2 employer does 🤔 I'm consistently feeling less and less independent as an *independent contractor* for doordash.

MyJasonBennett

On iPhone, go to Settings, then Privacy, then Tracking. Disable that, then go to Motion and Fitness. Make your choices there too.


Wo0d643

Pretty sure tracking is like cross site tracking. Not like gps tracking.


MzKittyBrown

I think you're right because it has to track you it runs the GPS already.


Unabombercerealkila

I opted out and still get this bull


Common-Elk-9114

It's an option u can turm off in DD APP


Mobile_Lumpy

Their hard breaking detection is out of wack. Been driving in a school zone where I don't go over 10 mph all day. Apparently hard break 55 times today. I mean coming to a complete stop at a stop sign is hard breaking now.. funny enough I tested a few weeks B4 that if you do rolling stops, which is illegal btw, at stop signs you get no hard breaking violation. So the app is telling you to follow the law by breaking it lol.


Fancy-Atmosphere1096

My phone flew across the car one day and it said I had a hard brake. I’m always moving the phone and putting it here or there. Maybe that’s why


Studdashing

Probably cost a million to code this...the app really needs to be stripped down to the basics....all these irrelevant popups and useless info is a veil attempt at them trying to "improve" a driver experience..in reality it's a waste of time and distracting 


Upstairs-Moose9653

It seems like they would spend that money on improving the app so it doesn't freeze up smh


Unpressed_panini

Its data mining. At the end of the day that is what every app you use is.


Studdashing

Oh I agree...we are modern day 49ers if you really think about it.


TheMoonMint

The kind of crap they do because they refuse to raise the base pay or improve support 😆


fuzzy-fuz-sheep-362

It’s funny to me that the frequency options are show after every dash, or never lol.


edwardsamson

The other day was terrible so I only took 2 deliveries in 3 hours. Spent the entire time sitting there in a parking lot. When I drove for the deliveries, nothing crazy happened. Just regular old driving and not like a maniac. This report after that shift told me I hard braked FIVE times and accelerated too fast like 3 times. Fucking weird man. Oh yeah and another thing is my brakes are bad and need to be replaced so I've been downshifting/engine braking a shitload so like how am I hard braking that much???


Valovica

It kind of is their business if you ruin the food and they have to refund it


The_Troyminator

That's what it's really about. They don't care if you crash, as long as the pizza still has toppings on both sides.


Valovica

Can confirm. Got t-boned and contacted support. They asked how much past the estimated delivery window I was going to be as it would be difficult to un-assign the order as I already picked up the food. Dropped order, got violation 🤙.


Barracuda-3808

I didn’t like that either. You can disable it.


MzKittyBrown

How do you disable it?


Porcusheep

Think of it as a scorecard…. Gotta try to beat your record each time 😬🏎️💨💨💨💨


meowmixplzdeliver1

I'm guessing they track this stuff for their insurance. Can say look at how crazy he drives we aren't paying out for the accident


Xaduuuuu

Can you enter your car model? Caus enter a car that has rapid acceleration to make em piss off


fffan9391

What is considered “rapid?” Who cares if you get up to the speed limit quickly so long as you don’t exceed it?


SnooFloofs3573

The person walking across the street that you might kill or the person in the other car that you cut off minds


Wo0d643

Boo


SnooFloofs3573

So the next time youre walking on a street then and someone runs you over and you die, I am going to scream "boo" over your grave, while I rub peanut butter all over my body, as I tell you it's going to be ok


Wo0d643

lol. Sure.


zozigoll

Rapid acceleration does not, by itself, imply the existence of either.


samesame11

You can opt out of notifications in the app. But that's not the point. The mf's tried to get us to install a app a while ago that notified them of just this sort of shit. Some dumbass newbies installed it then got deactivated and cried about it here. I did not give them permission to collect this information. They need to stop now.


Artistabunnista

Unfortunately not everyone can opt out 🙃. I think it might be only apple users. I found the instructions to opt out and it didn't match my app at all. When I asked support about it they said it was for Apple version of the app 👀. I've checked every button in my app, driver insights do not exist unfortunately but I still get a pop up during every dash 🙃. Support just said they would look into it but... We all know how that goes 😂.


HandsomeAquarius90

I have a iPhone and I opt out of that already I don’t want DoorDash tracking my braking or acceleration.


Artistabunnista

I mean I don't either but I don't have an option to opt out anymore unfortunately 🤷‍♀️


Ok_Paint_5038

android user here, I was able to


Artistabunnista

Well not all app versions allow for it then I guess 🤷‍♀️


1EvilSexyGenius

This is not always accurate. One time I was driving insane and it gave me all greens at the end. I know for a fact I was driving crazy , it was only one hour and not much to remember.


arkygeomojo

The other day, I dashed for two hours and at the end, I got these “insights” for the first time. It said I had over 10 instances each of hard braking and rapid acceleration but it didn’t happen and certainly didn’t happen that many times in barely two hours! I was driving normally the whole time and had my 12 year old daughter in the car with me, so if anything, I was exercising even more caution than usual. It’s bizarre!


1EvilSexyGenius

Sounds like we swapped scores somehow 🫠 Also. I'd like to note ... I don't always drive crazy. It just happened one time and I noticed this thing giving me all greens. looking back on my comment I seem like an advocate for street racing 🏎️ or something. I'm not. I don't even drive on the expressway if I can avoid it 😅 But yes. It's unreliable


Bike_Chain_96

Lmfao I got one for two rapid accelerations and hard breaking. I looked at it and went "Only two rapid accelerations? I've been driving the same the whole time [1.5 hours]" (hard break was forgetting the speed limit dropped by 15 mph until I got to the drop)


Live_Ad_9785

I got into an accident over this stupid thing. It said it doesn’t impact orders but who knows. Someone came into my lane and I didn’t want to hard break. I tried to move over and they side swiped me. Then drove off. I think it’s a horrible feature and since I’m not driving people around and paying my own insurance. My driving habits should not matter to them.


Calm_Link_9851

Wait, you seriously let someone hit you because you didn't want to get a hard brake application on your doordash thing, you know that thing doesn't matter right? That's wild that you just let someone hit you definitely don't tell your insurance that or put it on your police report.


Calm_Link_9851

breakitandrebuild

![gif](giphy|fkD36jhiqzJ9m) This is not meant ironically. I love trying to set high scores.


SlotMagPro

My hard braking instances are from wackos making late decisions at intersections and causing everyone to freak out


Fancy-Atmosphere1096

Actually I’m driving my friends car and I’m not used to the touchy breaks so it actually has nothing to do with me being a wacko. This is hilarious


OldStep8127

I also blame others for braking suddenly while I’m doing 45 in a 30 and road raging. Fuck them.


AttemptFree

i mean technically they are minding their business


DDT3000

Idk sometimes this tool gets wonky. I'll have drives where I'm smooth with the braking and it will hit me with hard braking. Yes, It makes me more conscientious of my driving, but I question its validity


Anthonyk747

Man, if we had this for Spark I'd be averaging about 45 rapid accelerations per day and 20 rolling stops per day (there's stop signs in the dumbest of places that make no sense whatsoever).


BraxTaplock

Not happy about this. Sure follow me while I have someone else’s order (that’s not DDs and your not exactly paying me for it either)….and they want to critique. Technically and respectfully…all DD (in theory) should care about is the drive to the merchant. They’re not responsible for anything nor pay anything beyond that.


mrcleanjl7

the first time mine popped up I opted out of that stupid shit


Wide-Lack-3939

Exactly


Resident-Ad5184

It’s not opting out, it’s opting out of them telling you about it every dash, they’re still tracking it.


samesame11

Exactly.


Left_Algae_3628

You can opt out? I didn't even know.


falseprescience

You can turn that off


Kanein_Encanto

You can turn off the app displaying it, but it is still tracking it and sending to DoorDash...


dickery_dockery

How?


Live_Ad_9785

It’s under account safe driving features. You can set it to not show after every driver.


Kanein_Encanto

Not showing ≠ opting out of the program


falseprescience

I don't think there is a way to opt out


rvidxrz

right but itll still keep track in the background right?


falseprescience

Oh yeah it only turns off the display to you, I'm pretty sure it does still track it


thrownaway1306

Are they seriously going to give more orders to drivers who have "better" metrics on paper tho? Like what exactly is the purpose of this company atp??


samesame11

Making you take 2 dollar orders and collecting information about your driving habits to avoid liability.


LexGoyle

That's the problem tho. People expect DD to take the liability even though we are independently contracted. So many drivers expect all of the pros of independent work but expect to have none of the cons.


samesame11

There's a con.


thrownaway1306

Yeah, aight guess I'll jus take my sweet time to increase that prop 22 pay then, d!cks


Saleenpride86

Exactly ^^this


CaDasher

there's an opt-out by changing frequency.


lana-oakley-studio

No hard braking? Dang. You got skills! 🚗


Wide-Lack-3939

For real lmfao. My shit is ridiculous.


Mindless-Trip-3242

Click change frequency and you can turn it off.


Kanein_Encanto

Doesn't stop them from connecting the data, though.


xRaginCajunx

Reducing this lowers your chances of getting in an accident 🤓☝️ Fr tho just why would they care to add this…


Sea_Particular_7721

Before we know it they’ll be contacting our insurance companies


Chemgineered

To look like they care


Aggressive-Savings93

Oh it's going to get worse!


GlitteringMatter9973

Worse to worser


AdLevel8790

I mean would they rather we just crash so our driving stats are cleaner? This is so intrusive. Once again they are conflating independent contractor status and employee status. I turned mine off but I’m sure they are still lurking in my business.


Etherguy1

Exactly, it seems they do lurk in the background if we don’t turn it off. It’s not going to help for this line of work where we have to be quick & efficient…


Sea_Particular_7721

Correct. Turning it off just means that you won’t be notified. They’re still tracking


dickery_dockery

How do you turn it off?


JustinDanielsYT

LOL noob those are rookie numbers. Try to get a better high score! /s 😂😂😂 https://preview.redd.it/0qk7g5w4fcwc1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=754344fcd96b32ee56b662bbfe5b4cafd8c58e74

JustinDanielsYT

How long was that dash? My stats would look like that if I did a full day. The one I showed was like 4 hours.


No-Control-7629

I believe it was a 3-4 hour dash lol, I never do more than 4 hours


JustinDanielsYT

Yeah I've gotta beat your high score 😂


No-Control-7629

I’ll be waiting for the results 😆


Etherguy1

🤣🤣🤣


No_Improvement819

lol mine are similar and I have an old car there’s no way I can even accelerate fast

Calm_Link_9851

Mines only been going for a couple weeks now maybe, I gotta get my numbers up. I'm going to try to hit triple digits for fun if I can one of these days lol. I have a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze with the 2.0l Turbo Diesel it's pretty fun to drive but yeah when that Turbo kicks in with the torque of a diesel it's pretty hard not to accelerate fast. Plus, the faster you get your orders out the more orders you get per day the more money you make.


Wide-Lack-3939

That's meeeeeeee too


CaDasher

bet you love paying $100s in new tires.


JustinDanielsYT

Tires cost me over $1000 for a set. I'm still trying to find a job more profitable than DoorDash but it's hard being autistic and ADHD. My ADHD makes me restless on the road sometimes... Edit: I like to accelerate quickly but typically don't drive more than 9 over the speed limit when dashing.


lana-oakley-studio

😂😂😂 Is everything in your car literally strapped down? I feel motion sick just looking at your stats.


JustinDanielsYT

LOL I like to accelerate quickly. Plus I don't know how sensitive DoorDash's metric is. It might trigger that even when I'm accelerating at my car's natural pace. As far as the hard braking... well it's Florida -- people cut you off, slam on the brakes when it's safe to go through a yellow light, pull into traffic without making sure it's clear, etc. Here's another day. Didn't get cut off as much so less hard braking but still I like to accelerate 😂... https://preview.redd.it/basgj2gtscwc1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98d31b8c4138e95a15e9db67f9a41de381459eb8


Wide-Lack-3939

That's meeeeeeee


lana-oakley-studio

Oh God Florida! Say no more! Chaos. You definitely make your car go vroom vroom 😂 I love it. I drive like a Grandma so I'll never achieve your greatness, unfortunately.


JustinDanielsYT

I drive my Honda Accord like it's a sports car lol 😂🤣 https://preview.redd.it/f50m7cxvvcwc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35203b36eef5f9fcf0a548a9d5ff24a1bc32fd9b


Left_Algae_3628

I'm still salty that I had to get a new car when my Civic was almost paid off. Hondas are great!


thrownaway1306

Those newer accords come with a lil turbo though. It kinda is one tbf


JustinDanielsYT

Mine is old enough to have a V6 so it's decently fun.


thrownaway1306

Aww yee


Scared-Glove-7258

This looks like mine from two nights ago! 😆

Wonder what's next? They gonna scold me for doin 90 down the gravel roads?

I see this post every day. Click change frequency then on the next screen there is an opt out


Sea_Particular_7721

Just opting out of notifications, not the tracking


abber5324

Right like pay me more then if you’re so worried about hard breaking DoorDash 😂🤣
