Driving safely and earning rewards with insurethebox

When weeks, months or even years of learning to drive finally pay off, and a motorist passes their practical driving test, they usually feel liberated and can't wait to tackle to roads on their own. However, affordable first-time car insurance can be tricky to find, and many new drivers find a manageable car insurance quote by opting for a black box car insurance or telematics cover provider.

Black box car insurance is a different type of insurance which allows the insurer to monitor a policy holder's driving habits by using telematics technology. Here at insurethebox we call that clever little telematics device a Clear Box, and once a customer chooses to take out an insurance policy with us, we will arrange to have the Clear Box fitted into their car.

Although it is important for all drivers to obey the rules of the road and to always remember the vital skills they were taught when they were learning to drive, regardless of the type of insurance they have, the difference with us is that we actually reward our insurance holders for driving safely.

Therefore, for motorists to improve their chances of reaping the benefits of cheaper telematics car insurance, it is vital that they don't neglect the rules they were taught during their driving lessons.

Theory test knowledge put to good use
During one section of the theory test, a learner driver is assessed on their knowledge of the Highway Code – without sufficient awareness of the rules of the road, a driver is likely to pose a threat to themselves and other road users.

However, a number of drivers forget, or don't realise, that the Highway Code is subject to updates and, in order to stay aware and alert on the roads, all motorists would benefit from spending some time re-familiarising themselves with the rules.

With such a wide variety of different road signs and markings in the UK, it is vital that drivers are aware of any potential dangers or other pieces of information in a particular area. For example, parking on double yellow lines can obstruct emergency access routes, and ignoring the speed limit could incur a fine, or even cause a traffic accident.

By making a conscious effort to be a safe and responsible road user drivers are more likely to avoid becoming involved in an accident and consequently reduce their chances of needing to make a claim on their car insurance – in the long run this may mean that they are able to make great savings on their annual premium as well.
