Motoring myths: what ‘black boxes’ reveal about our driving habits

[jack]

Interesting. Having something in-advance to tell people to knock off dangerous behaviour, rather than waiting till its too late, sounds positively idyllic. But I'm also scared of the intrusiveness, what else might insurance companies decide to monitor, or decide is an unacceptable risk for driving?
