Indicates if an alert should be triggered only if the vehicle's speed exceeds the posted speed limit (and threshold) and Smart Speed. Smart Speeds are dynamic road speeds, calculated based on a variety of factors, such as average traffic speed, from all traffic on a particular road. If the posted speed limit is incorrect or out of date, Smart Speeds can be a better indicator of the actual speed limit.

This control is displayed only for Speeding Against Speed Limit alerts.

Aggressive alerts trigger as soon as the Time to trigger elapses, regardless of whether or not another report comes in confirming that the exception is still occurring. For more information about aggressive alerts, see InSight Alerts: under the hood.
