Well, it's been a few days with Drive Wise installed and I have to admit that I have caught myself thinking about the device and making slight modifications to my driving habits. I've always considered myself a good and safe driver and I have the driving record to prove it. That said, I am not immune to closing gaps in heavy traffic on Lake Shore Drive or occasionally driving too close to the car in front of me. Having Drive Wise installed, I am more conscious of my driving habits and adjust them in order to avoid a dreaded "event". Maybe it is because it is new and I am more aware of the device. Over time, I may be less conscious of it.
My new auto insurance policy with Allstate begins March 6, 2012. As part of a premium cost-saving scheme, I agreed to install Drive Wise, Allstate's proprietary telematic device that monitors my speed, distance traveled, hard braking and sudden acceleration all in an effort to reward "safe" driving with up to a 30% reduction in premium. These devices are a fairly new phenomenon and I am going to report on my experience using the device.
