What an incredibly well thought out, intelligent comment.

It certainly could have been buffered better, but when you look at the whole forest and not just 1 tree, that's exactly whats happening. Its an intelligent way of happy jacking people into willing giving the insurance companies reasons to raise their rates by offering a discount. All the consumer will see is the discount thinking that their driving isn't all that bad, and this device may be basic. But what happens when the 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation of these devices come out and now the insurance company knows what station you are listening to on the radio and at what volume? Then raise your rates because your listening to the radio at a volume that they feel would make you susceptible to an accident, or decide that the neighborhood that a friend or family member lives in makes your car a target for theft? Meanwhile your handing all of this information over to them on your own free will, and will not be able to argue when your rates skyrocket. Im not against them because Im a bad or unsafe driver, I just refuse to follow the flock, and do agree wholeheartedly with the comment you quoted. I may be a bit on the paranoid side right now, but I refuse tolube up my own **** for a raping.
My company installed those OBD port GPS devices. The information they gathered with those things was incredible. They would even read trouble codes. All of our company trucks are Ford 3/4 and 1 tons, and as each one went into the shop for service or repair the service dept pulled them out. On one 3/4 ton that hadnt been to the dealer yet, the battery kept dying, within a couple hours if it wasnt running. We pulled the GPS out and the pins were corroded to all get out. After we pulled it out, the batterys never drained unexplained again.
