Black Box - Insurance Cancelled
Discussion

This is bonkers to me! Surely at 30 y/o you can get a decent enough price for insurance?
So how can you break excessively? What happens if you had someone jump in front of you 20 times in 25 miles? Not saying it's likely but it could happen and you get punished for it?
The speed thing is tough titties, surely you would know that would be picked up on easily?
£700 vs £1500 with and without a black box at my last renewal. Should have just forked out for the non-black box policy.So how can you break excessively?

So OP, what has the insurer said now they're open?
Worst case you just cancel it yourself before they cancel it so you don't have to declare it as a cancelled policy.
They've told me it's due to excessive braking and speed, I asked about if I cancel it first before they do and they said it wouldn't go against me then so I'm going to cancel it tomorrow morning when they're open again. £75 cancellation fee and a pro rata refund is better than having a cancelled policy on my record.Worst case you just cancel it yourself before they cancel it so you don't have to declare it as a cancelled policy.

I've requested copies of the data from them and I'm still filing a complaint so I'll see where things go from there.
Did you actually do 25 miles in that time? I suspect they think you did more and that is why the policy has been cancelled. NewCarGuy said:

I assume that means you did so does beg the obvious question why, when you had a black box installed.
What sort of loaded question is this? In my original post I was clear with what my questions were and what I was asking. You're just waffling about something irrelevant. ro250 said:

There were a lot of useful replies at first, now it seems to be the Karen's of the forum that have jumped on in.
Probably because your evading questions. Your 30 not 5 so answer them.
You see the truth always appears at some stage and then the OP starts with the speech above.

I recently got quotes on my 1973 Rover P5B Coupe, several of the companies were stipulating telematics for the policy. I'd love to have gone with them just to ask how they were going to fit it with 50 year old wiring!
SD.
The one my daughter had plugged in to the cigarette lighter port and velcroed to the carpet. Easy. SD.

Well, it looked like a simple mistake you were claiming, due to.low mileage, but if you drive outside the conditions set and recorded on the Black box, then it seems you wouldn't have anything to complain about.Why.I asked if their claim of poor driving was true.
24 miles only with a black box recorder, must be a record for insurance refused.
