I'm with you Tinkerbelle, statistics are that young drivers are more likely to have an accident in the dark after 11 a.m. and this will discourage them to use their cars too much at this time.
Average charge is 1p per mile (on a motorway) and could save an average of 30% to most drivers under a limited usage, however, just wondered if you drove 30,000 mile if this would work out better from you. The Norwich Union spokeswoman tonight didn't mention this, but think it is an opt-out scheme anyway.
The one thing that impressed me though is that if you broke down you could, through this system, get in touch with the Insurance company, they would know exactly where you were and inform your breakdown company quicker than yourself.
Jambutty: probably I am too trusting, but feel they are honest in their statement re. the speeding thing, although all systems are open to some sort of corruption.
Could be bad though if anyone were having secret liaisons and bribed the operator to ask where their spouse was at a given time
Confident this angle has all been covered though.
