Insurance based on how you drive.  good, or bad?

No need for speed cameras soon as your own car will squeal on you :grin:
If this takes off then we might as well have geographically limited cars so you cant break the speed limits, but i dare say this will not happen as the fines would be too lucrative to miss out on

This sort of tech spells the end for cars as a method of individual transport in urban areas

Surprised theres not average speed camera's round the country yet to make sure you are always within the speed limit...

But when that point comes we will all get mk3's and cruise round the coast, canals and rivers

I heard on a radio show (radio 4?) a few weeks ago, that this WILL be the future of insurance policies for everyone :lipsrsealed:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Sad thing is you'll most likely get raped for insurance without one and most people, being greedy fcukers, will opt in for the cheaper insurance. Not to mention the security aspects of it, what if all that lovely data on all of our movements was stolen by anonymooose cunts? :lipsrsealed:
