    Joe travels to King's Lynn to get answers from insurance company Adrian Flux, all in the name of consumer justice.

    When I passed my driving test at 27 I opted out of a black box for this very reason. My insurance is expensive due to a restricted license (epilepsy reasons). It’s just ridiculous in all honesty.

    I used to drive for the USPS to do their sunday deliveries… the GPS “turn by turn directions” that the parcel scanner would give you were soo insane that they’d give you bad directions like “drive straight for 300 miles” or report you for doing things like driving 300 miles off course, then report you for speeding when you magically weren’t 300 miles away but you had managed to arrive at your destination (all of your deliveries would be in the same zipcode so you could figure them out once you learned the area). My boss tried to write me up driving at 300 miles an hour at a diagonal across the city in the postal truck… apparently they had GPS data to prove it, the union got it thrown out… but who on earth would waste company time writing up such a write up 🤯

    When i started driving 3 years ago I had a black box policy with Hastings Smart Miles. Their black box was unreliable and gave false readings from day 1. It penelised me for no reason many times. My acceleration score was at 0 and didnt change no matter how much I tried. When I phoned them they refused to believe their box was faulty and told me that I should "put a water bottle on my dash and accelerate, if it falls over you are accelerating too much". I tried it, this still didnt change anything. I had to cancel the policy after 6 months otherwise they wouldve cancelled on me. So i lost 6 months of no claims discount so my insurance was expensive for longer. All I could put the acceleration issue down to (other than a faulty box) was my driveway was steep so every time i mounted the driveway it mistook it for heavy acceleration. I understand the point of black boxes and what they aim to do, but they arent reliable enough which is unfair on new drivers.

    Oh I remember my first car with a Black Box, had such a bad experience that said I done major bad driving some times when the car hadn't even been moved. In the end they almost cancelled my insurance but I done it first (you know otherwise I'd never get insurance again.... well really struggle anyway). I had to take my Premium of £2400 up to just over £4500 for a non black box insurance provider leaving me broke as hell but after many back and fourths I just couldn't take the stress anymore. Oh with a premium that high..... it was a 1L 68 horse power Seat with a market value of £500 at the time.

    I had a black box for my first year and ended up with around 7.8 out of 10, I used to find every part of my driving was 10/10 except usage, meaning the time I was driving.
    After the year I'm 90% sure this was to lower my overall score so they didn't have to lower my policy.
    Long story short my insurance the next year was around £25 lower and a policy with a different company was around £300 lower without a black box and with higher annual mileage.
    there was also something crazy like a 10 pence per mile charge for every mile I went over my quoted annual distance.
    my best advice to anyone learning to drive is to consider if they really need to drive or if they can wait a little longer as my friends that have passed at around 21 have a very similar insurance cost per year to me and I've been driving 5 years now.
    my first policy was more expensive than my first car and worked out to around £1450 for the year with a black box, the next year being around £1150 for the same car without a black box.

    I love what joe does, but I've got to admit. (Rare maybe) but I've got a black box, and it has never been an issue. I'm 38 (sad I know, licence at that age.) But to insure myself a 38 year old was too expensive. Doesnt go by age at all just by how long you've been driving. 'Mypolicy' are fair, they dropped from 1270 to 700 within 12 months, now they have just offered me 647. You can view your dashboard to see how you're doing but I've now stopped worrying about that. As long as you dont be an idiot and you dont double speed limit on a suburban road or go over 100 on motorway they're fine. No need to worry about it. Some work some dont I suppose. I could now leave the box and get insurance elsewhere. But theres no point. I'm happy with their service. I was very sceptical but I had no other choice. There small print scares you. But really doesnt reach that point. They want you more than you need them. Great company
