Petit test
Guess first, no penalty. Your telematics flags "harsh braking" at 14:32. You braked because a cyclist cut in front of you. What happens if you add no note?
Telematics is the data a vehicle sends back: speed, harsh braking, idling, fuel and location. Systems often turn it into alerts and a driver score.
The system sees what the vehicle did, not why. A hard stop for a child on the road and a hard stop from following too close look the same in the data. The note you add is what tells them apart.
A note that makes the reason clear

What I did: braked hard, no contact, cyclist unhurt.
Dashcam: clip saved for 14:31 to 14:33, if our vehicle has one.Short, factual and checkable. It doesn't argue. It gives the reviewer what the data can't.
