Yes, there is a big brother slant in it but a penny saved is a penny earned as the old saying goes, and who can afford to turn down a cost saving?
As stated above, this system may save you money or, depending on your driving habits, it may cost you considerably more than at present. Black box technology is the name of the game, except that in this case it isnt a game - the insurance companies are very serious about it, and it could become standard procedure for car insurance.

A calculation is then done by the insurers based on road pricing with quiet rural areas priced much lower than urban roads, which will in turn be stepped up in price according to the usual density of traffic in the area being traversed. A time factor can then be added, so that rush hour driving is likely to be priced high, with the cost reducing for evenings and weekends, but very likely rising for late night/early morning journeys.
