Reintroduce driving as manual activity option

I ride a motorbike and have no way of stopping my tracker from recording ridiculous step numbers. They're is no way to delete time specific steps either, so my tracker is now redundant

Completey agree I have 20 thousand steps added to mine everyday after I drive my truck every day! I don't wanna use the delete daily Steps button because it deletes the whole day! At least put times in there to delete Steps! Because I walk before and after work and all my stat's are wrong every day so it completely useless piece of equipment! It tracks sleep wowwww so does everything else

I do not understand the purpose of removing the manual driving activity, but it makes my device next to useless. As a commercial truck driver, my device will sometimes log as many as 2500 additional steps per hour. I work 5-6 days per week. Being unable to remove these steps makes the device almost useless to me.

I'm so glad Fitbit reinstalled the Driving exercise. Now maybe they would tell us why, since it doesn't do anything that I could see. It does NOT subtract steps. I just got off my mower and 3000 steps had been added - they are still there after logging the Driving exercise for the entire time.

Oh great well what a waste of time!! Isn't that the point of adding it in to remove the steps.. Wow...

And instead of all the effort removing and adding that feature, maybe pause steps feature added would of worked 25 times better
