The Grand Socialist picture. Progressive management is about as far left as you can get, so I am told.

They’ll tell the InsCo if they think something is wrong, but will they tell YOU? Even if you wanted your life to be a fishbowl, who says the glass isn’t from a fun house mirror?

What is now voluntary will eventually be mandatory.

I’ve pretty much decided to drive naked from here on. Fines for not having insurance way less than premiums and I only get stopped once every 20 years or so. Insurance status isn’t checked here when purchasing license tabs, etc.

The real goal is to base your vehicle taxes on where and how much you drive.
They experimented with it a few years ago, and got massive negative responses. Now by mandating it through insurance, it is ok (since insurance is a tax/or something)

It's interesting that this article only mentions performance data, not location data.
Measuring acceleration/decelaration is one thing, as long as they don't track frequent destinations, driving in "bad" sections of town, etc.

They don’t track where you go. There is no location information recorded, though that could change.

I would class action them.Any pre-OBDII system vehicle owner should be able to sue the pants off them for discriminatory practice.

Throw in a.gov kill switch on the black box and we will have a deal!
While I'm at it, the implant in arm monitors my eating, sleeping, and lifestyle habits to get a 'cheaper' rate via ObamaRomneyHeritageCare.

Did you know that if you are in an accident with no insurance, the other person’s insurance co can and will sue you for every nickel it cost
They will get a judgement and then collect it all bu liens, garnishments and attachments of assets.

Yes. F this nonsense. You give into that the next thing you know they’ll want to install cares in your house to see what you eat, tell you what type and when you need to exercise, and what you can and can’t eat. The slippery slope just got steeper and they are Teflon’ing the ramp....
