Progressive Auto Insurance Tracks Drivers
Posted on December 14th, 2010
An innovative new device can help drivers get cheap car insurance. Jolie O’Dell’s article “Insurance Company Tracks Driver Responsibility With In-Car Device” on Yahoo!News describes the “Snapshot” program. The device plugs into cars to track the responsibility of drivers. If it shows that you are responsible, you can get up to 30% off of your car insurance premium. Progressive auto insurance is offering this device in New York right now, but hopes to bring the program to other states soon.
Progressive monitors drivers for 30 days with the small device that plugs right into the diagnostic port in your car. The “Snapshot” tracks what time of day you drive, how frequently you drive, if you make sudden stops, and other driving behaviors. Drivers who drive less often or during the least busy driving times will get larger discounts off their car insurance premiums. There is no GPS with the device so drivers don’t have to worry about being tracked or losing privacy. This high-tech device may be used by other insurance companies in the future.
