If that is truth then they better start making insurance compulsory, and not having it will have to be a criminal offence, else we will end up with more uninsured vehicles on the road IMHO.

Friends of mine have signed up and are saving R200- R300 on premiums.
They're still in their frist month - so we'll see what their driving style is like
Well it can't get worse than the figure they quote - so if they'r esaving R300.00 in the 1st month, that's worst case. It can only get better ....
They don't penalise you, but rather reward you

I went for this
Ins R570 p/m less than before (with more all risks). Tracker included so save another R200 + fuel back which if I drive carefully could be R 400 p/m (I spend R 2100 p/m on fuel)
Guaranteed savings R 770 + possible extra of up to R 400 pm
It does help if you have a full Discovery portfoliio though (medical/vitality/life/card)

A bit of a thread-necro, but I don't think creating a new thread is necessary.
A question for anyone who's gone with Discovery Insure and their DQtrack thing; be honest, how draconian is the rating really?
How lenient do you perceive it to be, and how's the feedback -- do you ever get an idea of what made you a 'bad driver' in a month?
My current Discovery portfolio makes this an attractive option, but driving in constant fear of reprimand is not cool.

And is any of the car telemetry admissible in the event of a claim? "Oh, sorry mr. Bromster. We saw you leaving Vuyo's shebeen at 3am, then doing 118km/h in an 80 zone before the offending vehicle allegedly ran the red light. Not paying out..."
