Q:

If I brake suddenly as a one-off will I be penalised?

A:

Invariably, no matter how safe your driving, there will be a time when you have to brake suddenly, or add acceleration to get out of a sticky moment. Thankfully, this kind of occasional aberration shouldn't affect a driver’s premium, as the safer driving score is calculated on driving patterns over 90 days, not individual events.
