Great explanation of the functions. Now, if you just want to have fun, take it out and have some pilot plug it in to 12 volts on his plane and give it a go. Would love to see how they would respond to that data.

There are similar devices in the US. They are usually voluntary. I have Allstate insurance, and mine plugs into the OBD-II port. I don't believe that it has a GPS location in it, but it seems like it would be a pretty simple matter to triangulate from cell tower pings if they were interested in that. My wife took hers out, because her potential discount dropped to 0% in two weeks and we didn't want our insurance to go up due to her "driving while Asian" problems.

Very interesting, I never knew they actually transmitted the information, i thought they just recorded it on and SD card or something. Probably not a great way of telling who are the ‘good’ drivers, because some people may be driving more on motorways and doing lots of overtaking, other people may be driving slowly on backroads.

The accelerometer measures if you are braking too hard or if you're taking corners too fast etc. Obviously you are given some leeway, therecwill be occasions when you have to break unexpectedly. The speed measurement is purely to check you are not exceeding the designated speed limit for the particular road you are driving on.

@@KrisCochrane , But that's all done by GPS alone, no real time reading of the accelerator. After reading all that from my ins. I declined because if you catch all green lights it appears that your a maniac driving too fast.

Kris Cochrane Could you point out where the accelerometer is on the device because there doesn’t appear to be one. I presumed the movement in gps allowed them to track speed??

I know I’m a bit late on this video, but my friends son had one of these trackers in his car. He foolishly forgot about it several months into his policy and floored his boy racer Corsa down our local city bypass road, hitting 100mph. The next day his insurance rang him and cancelled his insurance with immediate effect.

Unfortunately it's a lot more than just a "couple of quid" you save. One of my sons wouldn't have been able to afford to run his car without one of these fitted. If it encouraged him to drive more safely I suppose it has some plus points!

Not convinced that they can compare the MOT mileage with the mileage logged on the box. If you lose GPS signal for example in a tunnel, the mileage stops getting logged. If the vehicle breaks down and is transported on a recovery vehicle, then GPS will potentially ber logging it's journey but the odometer will not. Not to mention the odometer is only around 10% accurate, so there could be a legitimate discrepency between the mileage loggesd at the MOT with the mileage that the black box has clocked up. Beside which, someone tht disconnects the black box could quite easily disconnect the speedo pickup, usually one of the ABS pickups on modern cars.

honestly, asides from the limited miles lol, its not that bad its not as sensitive as you think. Although whrn i was told about tricking the black box ik it was too good to be true. mine is an OBD one so reads live data and has an accelerometer - scary

Finished a year with ingenue 9 months ago, finally got round to taking this thing out, mine is with "aeris". It beeped at me the other day, even thou insurance had ended 8 months prior, and I swerved a bit Coz it made me jump so much on the quite road at night, so yeah I thought screw it and took it out🤣. Dangerous to leave theese things in if you can hear the buzzer clearly depending on where it gets installed, it's so easy to take out of Citroen/puegoat 107, c1 & Aygo, just look it up on YT

Plug it into another 12v power supply somewhere else then before your MOT use VCDS to change your odometer back, problem solved.

I wonder what criteria they use to choose which drivers are suitable for this. Even when I was a young new driver the black box insurers were always more expensive than other companies, never seemed to make any sense.

Haha good luck, my black box finishes in few days, had it one year, i got my one and only speed warning like 3 months into driving all because i overtook a bit too fast, say im traveling at 70 and someone in front is doing 67, and im catching them, to overtake them i will have to go over speed limit a bit by like 5mph or something otherwise i will be side by side with him for at least a good 30 to 40 seconds, so thats why i got my speed warning for going over it by a bit more, i also got 8000 miles and had to buy more miles a lot, 2000 2000 and 1000 miles, so an extra 5000 miles i bought, blackbox isnt too bad as long as company is good, i wont be going back on it unless they can guarantee they wont cancel my insurance for speeding when overtaking as its inevibtable.
