Hide or remove "Driving" from Exercise Goals count

[Shbe]

Using the Driving feature is very useful for making your step count more accurate however there is currently no simple and quick way to log drives.

Currently when you log "Driving" as an exercise it is contributing as an exercise in my exercise goals; even when I have done no other activity on that day.

It would be helpful if driving were treated as a null in the exercise goals and if there was a way to hide driving activity in the app when looking though your recent and past exercise logs.

The purpose of the "driving" feature is to negate erroneous counted steps therefore it is odd that "driving" counts as an exercise. It would also be handy to have in the app a switch to toggle on and off for a "Drive Mode" rather that having to input exact times; this is cumbersome and a hassle to do currently especially when in a rush.

When Driving is logged as an activity, it counts towards the weekly "number of days exercised" despite not being a workout
