Car black box tackles accidents

[frankie t]

Black box recorders" are being fitted to young drivers' cars in an attempt to reduce the number of accidents.

The device uses motion sensors to record when drivers brake late, take a corner too fast or swerve. Warning lights appear in the car and the recorded data is put on a website accessible by drivers' parents.
But should they be fitted in all cars young and old alike.

Link?

I dont k now anyone that will want something like this in their car, a box that will record all your faults & can be used as evidence against you.

Not for me ta.

[frankie t]

It may also prove you aint done nothing wrong.

[Matty]

Yes but if the police have other proof that you did something then its not going to be much use.

Whats classed as a young driver?

[frankie t]

I think the insurance people think 23 is a young driver when they calculate costs of a policy.

[Stu]

I don't beleive 23 is a young driver, probably 17-21, because you can have traders insurance at 21! im 22 soon, and no one will be putting a black box in any vehicle i drive, if anyone touches my car i wont act kindly :D
