Driving Lessons Gloucester- Black Box Insurance.

 
I was talking to a friend of mine from Sheffield recently, and the discussion turned, as it often does, to driving. His daughter has recently passed her driving test, and he explained that to reduce her insurance costs, she has had a "black box" fitted to her car. I had some knowledge of these devices, also called telematics, but decided to have a good look at how they operate, and here are my findings.

Insurance premiums are very high for young drivers because of the poor accident rate of that age group, so insurance costs can be reduced if the driver can demonstrate to the insurer that he is safe. This is where the "black box" comes in.

The boxes are installed in the car, usually behind the dashboard, in a tamper proof position, and will monitor events such as speed, acceleration, braking and cornering and the time of day that the car is used. The information is transmitted back to the insurer and turned into a score. The better the score, the safer the driver, which will lower the insurance premium. If poor driving is identified, the opposite will occur, and the premium will rise.

Some insurance companies will email the driver if poor driving is identified, and some companies will put the information on a smart phone app that can be seen by the driver. All of them make the information available online, so that any bad driving can be worked on and rectified.

Accident rates in Italy have dropped by 16% where the use of telematics is quite common. So overall these devices seem to be useful in nudging drivers to take fewer risks and to drive more responsibly and can reduce insurance premiums by up to £1000. Must be a good idea all round.

Driving Lessons Gloucester- Customer Review- Angie Haynes of Gloucester.

"Thank goodness I've passed my driving test!" It will make life so much easier now, as I have to get two seperate buses to work each day, which has been difficult this winter. I've got my own car already and I can't wait to start driving. My driving instructor, Tom Lowe, has been really helpful all the way through and I want to thank John Lowe Driving School for organising everything."

Driving Lessons Gloucester- Customer Review- Brandon Crossum of Gloucester.

"My driving lessons with John Lowe Driving are going really well and I've passed my theory and hazard perception tests. I'm working towards my driving test and seem to be covering a lot of subjects at the moment. My driving instructor is Martyn Brewer and he is really professional and very thorough. If I'm struggling in any way, he'll find a different approach and it always works. I'm a keen golfer and so is Martyn, so we have a lot in common, which makes it extra nice. I'm a student at Denmark Road sixth form and quite a few of us are with John Lowe Driving and all seem to be getting on well. It's a great driving school and Martyn is a great driving instructor."

Driving Lessons Gloucester- Customer Review- Emma Harris of Churchdown.

"My driving has really taken off since I went with John Lowe Driving. I had been learning on and off for a few years and lost heart each time with driving instructors who were OK, but never quite suited me. They were either unreliable or bad tempered. My driving instructor now is Tom Lowe and I seem to be zipping along. He is always on time with a nice smile, stays calm and always has an interesting driving lesson planned. I'm much more confident and I've just passed my theory test."
