Further on the "lure you in" comment, can I plead with everyone to stay away from the "premium reducing safe driver monitoring boxes".
As soon as these things become "popular" you can bet that the story will change.
Anyone who doesn't have one will be severely penalised, to the point that you won't be able to afford insurance without one - and then the prices of the boxes will go up too.
BUT even worse that this, the boxes are telematic and tracking systems that the insurers will use to find every possible reason to exclude any claim that you may ever make.
If you're 1mph over a speed limit and hit a wheel that came off a lorry driving along in front of you......sorry, you were speeding, you reduced your chance of avoiding the wheel, so you're not covered.
If you normally live and drive in Cornwall, but have an accident on the A82 in Scotland - sorry you're not covered, you've changed your driving habits and we based our cover and your premium on the risk we perceived from your normal driving routine.
If you're on a bike and fall off on a diesel spill whilst going briskly, but legally around a corner - sorry but your lean angle was too great for normal road conditions/speeds and a fully seated (not knee-out) rider, so gues what, we can see it was your fault so you're not covered.
The sooner we punters wise up to this scam, the better - but unfortunately, because having insurance is a legal requirement, and the barstewards are already ripping us off, lots of customers will jump at the chance now to get a premium reduction for having a "safe driving box" in their car or on their bike.
Basically, we're Focced - in future we'll all be paying premiums for worthless cover because tracking telematic systems will give insurers everything they need to deny every claim......and don't mention the breach of privacy.....and commercial value to the insurers of your travel data..... Every journey you make will be fracked, recorded, monitored, and e data sold to the highest bidder so that they can try and sell you stuff they think you'll want because of the businesses around your parking/stopping points.
Paranoia ???? - I think not.
