[MBZ] Insurance Big Brother Widget?
Had a fender-bender in late February, and my insurance rate shot up sharply now that it's time to renew. I have an opportunity to cut my insurance rates in half by having one of those Big Brother widgets attached to the OBD-II in the E420 for a few months. Opinions? Has anyone tried this? -MMM- ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Progressive dislikes acceleration, in any direction. They ding you for a 'hard brake' at 7mph/second. If you stop for a yellow light, you WILL be penalized. If you routinely run yellow/pink lights, don't corner hard, and drive a diesel, you'll probably do OK. http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/arcmessageview.php?catid=52threadid=1121895 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Depends on how paranoid you are I suppose. If I had one I'd be very careful about who I let drive my car though. Loan the car out, friend does something stupid and up goes your rate... I'd put a note on the dash reminder, Big Brother IS watching just as a reminder. -Curt Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 05:02:31 -0500 From: M.

I have not tried it. Recent surveys have shown that it is not a popular option if offered, no matter the savings. Something like 60% of those asked, there was no way they would take that offer. Smacked of NSA spying and other intrusions on privacy. TSA can poke fingers in your orifices if you fly, but not in your own car. We are traveling down a slippery slope by giving ourselves over to the computer overlords. One day we will no longer have the ability to our own private thoughts or choices. We will live in the bosom of the overlords with all the entitlements, or be feral camps living in the wild lands. clay On Sep 26, 2013, at 3:02 AM, M.
