Just can't get a good basic truck, like the old days!

Anyone know since 2014 every new car in the US has an edr aka a black box that stores accident info occasionally used to reconstruct accidents. Anyways I used "snapshot" plug in obd driving recorder from progressive in the winter when it first came out. I was docked several times for rapid acceleration and rapid decelerations. No kidding, anyone who's ever driven on snow and ice covered roads will occasionally briefly spin the tires when starting off from a stop sign. Occasionally lock the tires even with abs. I dropped progressive after I got my report from them.

The GeoTab we have in our work vehicles is similar, although it includes stuff like frequent stops, meet up points, ect; and can be set to alert of off hour usage, or out of "zone" travel. I kniw they dont have some of that currently turned on, as I sometimes work nights and/or weekends, and haven't gotten a nasty email about it.

Moving the vehicle 15 ft without a seat belt on, yes...

I don't agree to those devices. While extremely rare these days, sometimes you just have roast the tires... like on your way to get new ones..
