They'll start out that way then a few years later you won't be able to turn them off. Then there will be mandatory black boxes fitted, all in the name of driver safety so the sheep buy into it. Then insurance companies will check your black box when you make a claim and so will the police. By this time it will be too late to go back and all those that thought it was a good thing will have no choice but be monitored everywhere they go. Mean while the Real Criminals will disable it all and carry on as usual with their illegal activities undisturbed as road traffic police will be virtually non existent by then. Joe Public law abiding citizen will be under full control as it will be checked for the MOT.What's the point of a mandatory speed limiter you can just switch off?

I dread to think what my results would be if I had one on the Cupra, yet with no points and 17 years NCD, I am a fast but safe driver (and biker) but this box would have me down as uninsurable.So this is what the black box thinks of my driving. The only one that requires any skill whatsoever is smoothness. Usage - I get the car home before 10pm for a perfect 10. Speed - I make you all follow me at 24mph everywhere. Smoothness - I opted to nearly cause two accidents to keep my score up. Unfortunately at a green light, someone decided to slam the brakes on to let a car turn right across us. Hence I lost 1.2 points on smoothness.
