OK. I was doing some business the other day and the guy was an insurance agent. Of course he had to sit me down for a quote. One of the companies he uses is Progressive. He started telling about the program they are running where you attach a small little box under your dash, and it monitors your driving habits.
Speed, acceleration, how hard you break, etc. He said if you drive "safely" your insurance goes down.
My concerns...
1. Kinda tin hattish.
2. What is "safe driving" as far as they are concerned.?
3. If you-get in an accident, you know it will be used to determine fault.
4. What else is it monitoring?
It does not look like it has GPS in it, and it is very similar to what LEO can use sometimes to get "black box" data from a car after crash.
Just wondering if anyone is using this.
He said if you are careful how you break and do not drive over 75 much, you could see as much as 25% in insurance savings.
