The problem is that insurance companies can do whatever they want. Without the box, insurance companies apply fault in an accident based on their interpretation. Even if there was no fault on your part, they can still hike the rates to whatever they want anyway. All the box will do is give them more reasons to raise the rates because they could tell everything from seat belt use to speed. Yes, drivers should be wearing their seat belts and driving the speed limit but I will be opposed to the black box information being used by anyone other than law enforcement, at least until I see some sort of regulations on insurance companies.
