So drive slow for 1-3 weeks every time you want a new discount and then drive normal. If this literally dropped my insurance by $600+/yr (I pay over $1200/yr for one car) then I'm totally down... I wonder how they determine your risk. Mainly speed and g-forces I'd guess. So just use typical efficient driving techniques (large buffer in front of you to avoid using the brakes, accelerate slowly, prefer constant speed vs varying) and then go slow through turns while observing all speed limits.
Kind of doubt they do this discount for certain cars or demographics tho. Young men, basically.
God I'd love this for motorcycle insurance. S1000RR goes from $4k+/yr to insure to 2k. Woo!
- hooloovoo_zoo 8y agoI wouldn't be surprised if the most useful features were things like time of day driven, total time driving, locations driven to, etc. Those are also more annoying to game than g-force etc. Of course, using some of those might be a recipe for a discrimination lawsuit.
