Step counter problem

My problem is that my vivofit counts steps as I was walking when I'm driving my car. Is that normal?

    That seems to be a normal thing to happen with all wrist based trackers. I know with Fitbit you can erase those steps (which is only worth it if it's an outrageous amount) by logging driving. I never get enough for me to actually worry about it.

    I only saw a 29 step difference on a 3 hour trip yesterday. I didn't sweat it.

    It happens with my FitBit when the ride is bumpy.. Especially on a bus or train.

    I I'm going on an extended car trip, I just hit pause. Makes life easier.
