I am looking into how to get around this . I can register my car in Ireland if necessary
i will not take part in this farce

In the present I am saving approx £112.00 per month..

This policy is an option and I doubt it will become mandatory in the future..

Which would be in Thomas's case with black box £38 pound per month + 40% rather than £150 per month without black box +40%...!!!

...which may be a good thing and reduce all others insurances perhaps due to less claims and cost for the insurance company...???

Tbh Andy I could see insurers all having the blackbox as an optional policy but still offering fully comp standard policies.

The only problem I see,is that if the insurance companies make money out of black boxes,they may make it compulsory for a lot more drivers. They are in it to make money after all.

See what you are saying. It really should be an option though and should imo only be in the 17-24 age bracket.

Actually he COULD. On co-op it's 11pm and you can still drive after that time and it barely affects your rating and I've done it numerous times.

Depends on the insurer though..
