TomTom tech to set driver insurance premiums

TomTom has signed a deal with an insurance company to use its satnav technology to measure driving ability to set premiums.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

These new technologies to spy on us are always sold with the promise it will lower premiums.

Has anyone seen the premiums go down? Ours went up ... to pay for all that new whiz bang technology they are using to track our driving! With progressive's "Snapshot" they are just checking your car for the manner in which it is being driven, but with Tom Tom, they know where you drive to! That is, if I recall correctly, "red lining" and is illegal in most states.

Give their data to the police to give you a speeding ticket??

If other insurance companies had your records would they insure you?

When have you ever known insurance premiums to go down?

You're insane IMHO if you take up this kind of insurance - they're looking for ways to increase premiums and you're playing right into their hands.

They're even checking how sharply you break for heavens sake!!
