When I tried this a few years ago, the unit beeped when it sensed braking or lane changes it didn’t like. It beeped constantly in the course of normal New York City defensive driving. I found myself running more than one red light to avoid the “hard braking” beep.

It completely eliminated any enjoyment of the new car I sacrificed to save up for.

After 3 months I was horrified to get an email with a list of time stamped infractions and an offer for a 15% reduction in my premium.

Yeah, no. I switched to Geico, cut my premium in half, and vowed never to willingly trade surveillance for an insurance discount.
