Re: Insurance Black Boxes and the GDPR

Here in the states they actually have those devices. If you have poor credit you can buy a used car but it comes with a tracker/disabler. Miss a payment and the car can be disabled and tracked then repossessed if you do not make prompt payment. You "consent" to this so it's legal. If you don't consent they will not sell you a car.

A friend has one. Nice guy, but not the best credit risk.
