adding tracking devices that record speed, acceleration, braking, et cetera would certainly help curb that if the info was scheduled to upload to insurance companies regularly with annual quotes being affected by the results. I know a few places have started doing this for new drivers, but if it were mandatory...? yes, it's all very big brother, but unlike 'safety cameras', this would actually make a difference to who is on our roads, imo. if it actually saves lives, right.....?
