Ours couldn't tell speeding, though. I'm not sure how it could tell speeding unless it had some kind of low-jacking device to know where I was and the corresponding speed limit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-have-progressives-snapshot-recorder#post-2442180 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:47:14 +0000 mrschickpea 2442180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just sent ours back and got a decent discount, I think it dropped my monthly payment by around $20? It was annoying when it beeped by mostly for DH since he drives worse than I do when it comes to sudden stops lol :shocked: We both still scored about the same so it gives quite a bit of leeway. I thought it was worth it, I barely noticed it most days and the discount is permanent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-have-progressives-snapshot-recorder#post-2442172 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:43:11 +0000 honeybear 2442172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: @Mrs.KMM: Yeah, I hear you on that. I'm on the fence. But we're low risks because we really don't drive much--like, not even every day--so I think it might lower our premiums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-have-progressives-snapshot-recorder#post-2442169 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:41:57 +0000 honeybear 2442169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: Thanks! Ahh, the buzzing would drive me up the wall! That's good to know. I'd read that there were "alerts" if you started too fast or slammed on the brakes, but I wasn't sure if they were instantaneous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-have-progressives-snapshot-recorder#post-2442158 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:35:49 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2442158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have progressive so we don't have the option. But I have always thought that they seemed a little Big Brother to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-have-progressives-snapshot-recorder#post-2442153 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:33:01 +0000 Raindrop 2442153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not... personally it feels too much like 'the man' is watching me type of thing.</p> <p>I do have a few friends that use it and say the love it and one told me it saved him like 150 dollars a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-have-progressives-snapshot-recorder#post-2442148 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:29:00 +0000 LBee 2442148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it! </p> <p>I got the discount, but my husband did not. A little ironic as I totaled my car whilst using it. I guess that didn't register. </p> <p>The thing drove us NUTS. It sometimes read us as slamming on the breaks when we weren't, which was really frustrating. I also got to the point where I would almost be tempted to run a stop sign just to avoid a damn beep.</p> <p>I can't remember what we saved. It was nice to be able to tell my husband (after totaling my car) that Progressive thought I was a better driver than him. </p> <p>One pointer - if you are planning any trips or anything, it records the amount of miles you use. We didn't realize this and (in actuality) I think this is why my husband didn't get a discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-have-progressives-snapshot-recorder#post-2442136 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:23:38 +0000 honeybear 2442136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if any other car insurance companies use devices like this to monitor driving habits, but does anyone have experience with these devices? </p> <p>If you have installed one, did you get a discount when you renewed? Any thoughts? </p>
