Insurance - can they put my price up over the phone?

[Poodle]

I couldn't do this, myself. The thought of those fucks putting an annoying little box in the car, lol. It's big brother society gone mad What should actually be done is give people responsibility, let them know that it is their fault if they are driving recklessly and end up upside down in a field. Things like black boxes only make people more immature and cotton wrapped.

Think you've got a bit confused/backwards here. Big brother society is where massive amounts of information is collected about individuals without permission for undisclosed reasons, whereas this black box is a voluntary thing that collects limited data for a very simple reason. If you drive recklessly and end up in a field, as you say, the little black box will be there to hand you a whole gamut of responsibility.
