A mum had to take action to prove not every road in Wales has a 20mph speed limit after an insurance firm voided her son’s insurance policy.
Welsh television presenter Jess Davies explained that her younger brother saw his car insurance voided as a result of the vehicle’s black box recording his speed and seemingly deciding he was constantly exceeding the speed limit. It meant their mother had to take some unusual steps to show the firm that not every road in Wales now had a 20mph speed limit.
Do know the diagnostic port in your car they plug into if your check engine comes on? It can read your car systems in real time as well, and insurance companies will offer you a discount for “good driving” if you keep their dongle plugged in so it can send all your car info back to them.
It can go both ways though, hence the article.
