Revenue generating black box mandatory in new cars

The Snapshot is an okay deal, technologically it's not where it could be- as I work in Insurance. I have yet to have a single customer sign on for it, but in theory it could work pretty well... we really have to see how it works after a year or so in actual use before I start saying to my customers "Hey you should get in on this, it'll do wonders for saving you money... that is if you drive well." Personally, I'm not going to get it (although I haven't been a Progressive Customer for a few years now), I drive with a heavy foot and sometimes go for drives where I hit corners pretty fast.

As a claims adjuster, I would have loved a black box. If there aren't accidents or tickets, the rates shouldn't be raised (imo). Accidents and tickets should be enough of a reason to raise rates. Otherwise it will be like denying health coverage for a disease that you could develop.
