You can even get a discount if you let them install a tracker in your car and authorize their use of the data.

Yeah they send me this fucking homopromo every few months. Boy if they knew my driving habits they'd cancel me within 5 minutes. I only drive older luxury sedans but to also have serious fun. No accidents knock on wood and yes the sedans i drive have real wood lol
The amount of slow drivers is now noticeable, many to save 10%. what a joke. I feel priviliged being free to do as i risk and please yet another aspect where i don't follow the status quo and pack.

Nice.

I'm in your boat here. I could never allow these insurance companies to figure out how I drive, I'd be out of insurance real fuckin' fast.

Thing is, most people don't understand the capabilities of their vehicle. And far too many simply aren't White men, so they lack much of the physical capabilities to orient themselves/cars in/around others.

Ha you know it i luv drivin hard.. But understand how shit works especially old school weight, like skidoos u learn quick that things in motion wanna stay straight and to "lean" into, with a car it's easier and funner even. But hell almost every fucn wtf moment is a oblivious nigger and or an absolute batshit crazy one tempting me go over coz they don’t understand said limits. I love when they lose though. You gotta have a certain balance. I love the game and d(r)ive like water in a river goin around rocks all graceful like. My son loves V8s now.

TrackPilot or somthing like that, its a mobile app the were pushing. Let them spy on your device, your driving patterns, etc and well ive you a 10% discount!

[ - ] ItsOk2bArian 0 points 1 monthMar 12, 2024 13:42:35 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah but your discount can go up to 30% off your base premium if you drive slow, brake slow, and corner slow, while not using your cell phone at all during the trip.
Doesn't $50 off every 6 months sound like a great trade for all your personal info and meta data.
Don't be a bad goy, just sign it all away

They have apps you can install on your phone too. You have to read the fine print because some insurance companies may raise your rates depending on how you drive. Also even if they don't raise your rates, if you're deemed a dangerous enough driver they may decide to not insure you at a later date.

Try questioning my 65’ Ford. She’s a vault.

That's the least of it.

The steering wheel and brakes aren't connected to anything except a computer.

Hence keeping the old car until it drops.

[ - ] ItsOk2bArian 1 point 1 monthMar 12, 2024 13:38:17 ago (+1/-0)

Don't stress it to much, once they force everyone into self driving vehicles and outlaw manual steering, auto insurance will go away or drastically change how it's handled as you will simply be a passenger and no longer liable for any damage caused by a collision. I imagine the manufacturer will have to carry the liability insurance at that point.
Of course you'll be forced into mandatory healthcare insurance or something to that effect in order to make up for the trillions in lost revenue

Are all the WikiLeaks emails backed up somewhere? The faggots shut them down.lexis is an NSA program. Everyone should hate their guts.

Lexis Nexis has been around for a long time. It's a subscription service that's full of public records and things like print news papers from all over. You can use it as a private company to run background checks on people and see if people have changed their names, since name changes have to be printed in a public place, like a local paper. I'd be surprised if government intelligence didn't start it or buy it at some point.

background checks on ppl

The fucking government and my insurance company are the only ones allowed to my data. and the insurance company only has records of my accidents. Every other company can go and fuck itself. "can do background checks on ppl". Thanx for the info, but u sound like a cuck.

[ - ] allAheadFull 0 points 1 monthMar 12, 2024 18:44:28 ago (+0/-0)

All sorts of companies buy and sell your data. What part of "public records" did you not understand? Data brokers sell your private data too fuckwit. What the fuck does your "allowing" have shit to do with anything, ball gobbler?

[ - ] dontbeaphaggot 0 points 1 monthMar 12, 2024 18:56:28 ago (+0/-0)

Need to move in the direction to make data theft punishable with jail time then. Maybe even public hangings in the city square.

Good luck with this government. A lot of the data trafficking going on is legal, unless the government takes possession which would make it un-Constitutional, but they do it all the time.

We expected that 'the internet of things' would be an absolute bitch, and it proved us right

The fun part is I'm sure this data is used to determine the general rates of an area as well, the same way crime statistics in your city can affect how much you pay.

If you let an insurance put a camera in your bedroom and a probe up your asshole they would probably give you a discount too.

[ - ] eongoat 0 points 1 monthMar 12, 2024 13:26:31 ago (+0/-0)

Do none of you know how to game the system? Get a clunker. Put tracker in the clunker. Drive it once a month around the block. DONE. Enjoy discount and not being tracked.

As long as you don't have a wreck in the one you are REALLY driving.
