Basically you get a fob that pluugs into your ADL and moniters your driving habits.
NO thank you

I read that they are mainly looking to see how you brake etc.
some people said that they drove 90+ with it and their insurance didnt go up one bit.
dunno though since i don't have progressive.

I ran one for a bit (at the request of my ex
) in my truck, and lo and behold I didn't get an insurance discount. Probably because on the 2nd day or so I had it in there, I went out 1409 in Dayton to pick up a car with a trailer, and about 4 jackasses either pulled out in front of me or slammed on their brakes in front of me to turn, making me slam on my brakes and damn near wreck my truck.Either that or I just drive like **** anyway

Wife had it on the tahoe. It saved us few dollars because of her save driving. It shows how many times you brake haRd shows how many times you speed up heavy. It's pretty cool thing I forgot it was on one day so we didn't save **** that month. You take it off send it back they send you a new one but its really not worth all the hassle of taking it off and mailing it.
This isn't some program designed by them to spy on you, it's purely voluntary. I have progressive and opted in to the snapshot program and got a 20% discount because of it. All they do it monitor how many hard brakes you do (they consider a hard brake slowing by 7mph or more in 1 second). Your rates will NOT go up because of it, I asked an agent a slew of questions before agreeing to it. Or you can read the FAQ that the OP linked (which he clearly didn't do) before jumping to the irrational conclusion that they're out to get you.
