Black box insurance and advisory speed limits
Discussion
Morning all,
My lad on his commute passes a 30 advisory speed limit on a 50 limit dual carriageway. 3 times now he has had a warning from his insurer about speeding in this spot and his speed has always been under 50, but not under 30.
I haven't contacted the insurer to ascertain whether they have it recorded as a limit or advisory as i can't be bothered as i don't have the issue - and he, being 18 is too lazy to bother. Plus it's not an issue anymore, due to furlough and redundancy, but raises a question of driving behaviour and rules.
Last year he was with More Than and they had a decent app showing his journeys etc and never alerted to advisories. Now with Tesco and it seems they do.
1. Do they all not use an industry standard mapping?
2. Anyone other compaines warn for advisories?
3. Is their thought process that as a new driver he isn't "qualified" to judge the best speed?
