GraceK said:I ticked to say that I would use one of those little black boxes that tells them whether you're driving carefully or not. Does anyone know anything about them or have one themselves?
My understanding was the black boxes are issued to young inexperienced drivers to lower their insurance premiums, they are fitted in the car and monitor speed, acceleration and braking sending the information back to the insurance companies, if they drive sensibly then their insurance premiums are lowered, if they drive unsafe then the premiums go up or they refuse to insure you altogether, I only know this as my lad passed his driving test earlier this year.
I wasn't aware it was offered to everyone mind, if it helps reduce the cost of motoring then I would certainly go for it myself!
