Firstly, Flo is pretty hot no???? I always ask the wife when the commercial comes on, if I doink Flo would I save on my car insurance? Wife says maybe but if I doink Flo I need to make sure the wife saves on car insurance too.

Ok.... This is the first time hearing about the product. They haven't sent me any details about it thus far so I don't know too much about it. But if it sits in line and gets its info from OBD-II, sounds like it's begging to be hacked one way or another. Just sayin.

On the surface it's a neat idea. Insurance is all about risk. Why pay more if you are if you are low risk? For example, let's say you primarily use your car during non-peak hours to drive to the pub, or pick up a ho, or get your next hit. All this within 1-3 miles of your home, well you'd be low risk and save a pant-load. But let's say you instead use your car to drive back and forth to/from gainful employment. Naturally this is during peak hours because well there are a lot of other gainfully employed people too. Well that's high risk.

Regressive, being the marketing masters they are will guise this as helping the consumer, all the while it increases profits for them. Gosh I love MBAs.

I've been a customer of Regressive for several years. Until last year, their prices were far lower than any of the other hooligans. But for the last two statements, they seem to be jacking up their prices so that they are coming awful close to the other hooligans. I guess the business of insuring drivers with prior driving experience consisting of (in no particular order): riding the bus, riding a donkey, riding a bicycle, or wearing out a pair of sneakers is too great to pass up.
