Black Box Recorder Usage Rising Amongst Motorists

“I was getting insurance premium quotes of between £3000 and £8000, then when i tried again with the black box recorder on my premium, the quotes were around £1000″ – the words of an 18 year old Male new driver, who saw his car insurance premium quotes cut massively due to having a black box drive recorder fitted within his car.

It is examples such as that of the aforementioned young driver which is largely thought to be behind the new statistics which show a huge increased in the number of motorists with black box recorders in their cars – from around 12,000 just 3 years ago, to around 180,000 today.

Black box drive recorders, such as the ones we supply here at Roadhawk, record statistics about each car journey, such as what speed you are travelling at, your acceleration, braking, and what time of day it is, and in turn can prove to insurance companies exactly how safe you are on the roads, and the safer you are, the lower your premiums are, which is why these recorders are so popular at the moment, and expected to be even more popular in the next few years, with 500,000 expected to be on UK roads in the next two years!

So, if impressive savings on your car insurance, or simply having that bit of extra backup should the worst ever happen when out on the roads is something appeals to you, then be sure to get your vehicle kitted out with a black box drive recorder as soon as possible!
