Good points about telematics... do you find the feedback from the app helpful in adjusting your driving habits, or is it mostly just background noise? I've been tempted but still kinda on the fence about it.
I've been using telematics for about six months now, and honestly, the feedback has been surprisingly useful. At first, I thought it'd just be another app cluttering my phone, but seeing actual data on my braking and acceleration habits made me more aware of little things I didn't even notice before. It's not life-changing or anything, but it definitely nudged me into smoother driving habits—especially helpful on long road trips where fuel efficiency matters. Worth giving it a shot if you're curious.
I've had telematics for about a year now, and yeah, it does help. I didn't realize how often I braked abruptly until the app pointed it out...definitely made me more cautious, especially in bad weather. Small changes but worth it.
I tried telematics too, mostly to save a few bucks on insurance. Didn't think it'd change my driving habits much, but turns out I was accelerating too hard without even noticing. Took a couple months, but once I adjusted, I actually saw a decent drop in my bill. Still not a fan of being tracked all the time...but hey, if it means more money stays in my pocket, I'm good with it.

Same here, I had no clue how heavy-footed I'd gotten until telematics pointed it out. Took a while to ease up, but honestly, smoother acceleration made my road trips way more relaxing... and saved me gas money too. Still, the tracking thing does feel a bit weird sometimes.
