We don’t require provisional holders to fit a black box whilst they are learning to drive under supervision. However, they will need to fit a black box when they switch to a full licence policy. A black box or telematics device is a small electronic gadget installed in a vehicle that monitors driving behaviour. It collects data on factors like speed, braking, and the time of day you drive. The device provides insurers with accurate data about a motorists driving habits. If you drive safely and responsibly, your premium may be reduced at renewal.  A black box is a great way for young motorists to get affordable car insurance. It can also help them stay safe on the roads by providing regular feedback on how they drive. For more information, see Telematics frequently asked questions.
