It means you're annoying it basically, if you keep on doing so by excessive acceleration, braking and cornering then it'll go red.

On your PDA you can see your previous scores for these plus idling, it's in the section along with your tracked delivery etc, scan in/out info

Oh yeah and don't forget speed limits so be careful on all aspects of your driving.

Frequent harsh(ish) breaking and acceleration. Mostly you get them for daring to stop at traffic lights, or for driving for a period of time deemed to be over a pre-defined norm.

Often the pre-defined norm is wholly impractical.

We have something like them on some the 600s and wagons, but it's dressed up as "economical driving score".

I can see why they put them in, but the application of them is poor. I get it, better planning saves fuel/charge and wear but if you spend loads of time looking at what the Trimble is doing then you're not really looking at the road.
