Inspire HR recording false steps while in golf cart

I work security for a self storage place and am doing hourly runs through the property in a golf cart.  The Inspire HR logs many false steps.  There must be a better solution than me logging the activity time as "driving".  During security checks I am often in and out of the cart and it would believe whole time would be driving.  Is there anything to help with this?

Let me help you with your step count while riding the golf cart. Your device will detect the movement on your arm and translate that movement into steps. There are situations in which your arm may move but you won't be actually walking. For example, this may happen when you are playing the drums, burping a baby or clapping. It can also happen when driving. As you mentioned you can negate these steps by logging a driving activity. You can try wearing your device on your non dominant hand but select that hand as dominant on the device’s settings to make it less sensitive to movement.

Let me know how it goes.
