lol, my allstate "drivewise" stats

It's funny that when I try to debate anything it's because I am stirring the pot. You people make me laugh . It's not that I'd rather have a better insight to the thought process of some people, more so the theory conspiracists, which one of the spoken ones in here had admitted to being before.

I was curious as to what actually makes you think that your information would be tracked. Carry on though...:lol:

(Wire takes his ball and goes home) :lol1:

It's hard to have a debate online. Everyone is tougher and has bigger balls here. Why debate, listen to your opinion and then give my opposing opinion when I can just call you names.

What exactly do they consider "hard accel"?
If the thing is calibrated for a weak-ass Honda Civic and you stick it in a Cobra, every time you take off in 1st gear it's going to be recorded as a hard accel.

 

[WireEater]

I would assume anything that throws you back to the seat. It probably has some sort of accelerometer in it.

 

[ford_racer]

I believe they plug into the OBD2 port, which would mean they have access to the TPS, so they probably go by percentage the throttle is open.

Yeaaaahhhhhhh.....Did you get the TPS report about buying percentages of throttles? It's not going to happen.

It's just that we're now putting new cover sheets on the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and remember to do that from now on, that'd be great.

The part that bugs me is I could be punished for my driving habits yet I have yet to have an accident. I have watched (I have to stop witnessing) so many accidents caused by people 'driving normal' and simply not paying attention it just sickens me that the solution is to charge people who pay attention and drive aggressive from time to time more money than the average idiot on the road who is going 10mph under the speed limit and texting.

I don't believe they can raise your rates from the information they get, but I am only going by the progessive commercial I have heard where a person says what if I sometimes speed and Flo says there is no risk or something along those lines.

ahh Flo...... want to touch the hiney!!!

Excluding cell phones, most people don't have any sort of personal information attached to their GPS devices.

I think most people that have a problem with the Drive Wise device is the fear that kind of tracking may inch its way into being a requirement to obtain insurance. So I'm required to purchase insurance to operate my vehicle, and I'm required to allow my habits to be tracked in order to purchase insurance (hypothetically speaking of course).

the insurance companies are out to make money. especially since theyre always paying out money. its a BIG business. i wouldnt be surprised if they currently had lobbyists in DC and state capitals trying to push this on politicians. they could easily claim that it will make the roads safer by penalizing the "few" that drive recklessly. all under the guise of "public safety". meanwhile they can sit back and watch the premiums soar.

imagine the state requiring these just to drive a car. i just got a parking ticket an hour ago because i was ten minutes late to move it. they wouldnt even have to send parking fairies out. they could just have the system automatically tell when a car is illegally parked and issue a ticket. same with speeding etc... :uh oh: hopefully that is just a far fetched idea of mine lol :read:

 

[NO-BlkLightning2K]

i think it's the stupidest thing i've ever heard of, letting a company monitor what you do in your car. why don't you put a webcam in your bathroom and send the irs a link. i hear they give out tax return discounts if you shit just right.

 

[Need2Speed86]

I wouldn't be surprised if this became mandated to even have insurance. Sounds like something Illinois would do.

 

[Shifty Powers]

and this was in one day? LOL

 

[Jefe]

Being in the insurance industry and talking with State Reps regularly, this is not something that is being discussed at the State level, at least not here. A liberal state? I wouldnt doubt it. This is simply another "discount" tool they are using to try to put themselves ahead of the competition.

Seeing how the Feds implemented their new banking laws and forcing checking fees on most everyone's accounts, I can only imagine its a matter of time if we keep electing these types of people

Wow, this was not the response I was expecting from you when I came in here!

Come on, I did say it was only a matter of time

 

[MissionMan]

year :burn:

nope, just a couple months.

love the tin foil hats in here though. i have noticed helicopters following me and black unmarked chevy tahoes seem to follow me a lot too. probably just a coincidence.
