| 1204390 | 2011-05-23 23:03:00 | I'm thinking insurance companies then could negate your policy if they spot heart irregularities, or police departments can tell if you're under the influence or it could be innocuous and a safety device like you said. Yeah sure! Insurance and finance companies want access to the GPS and other locating systems so they can find cars that are overdue for payments. And motor vehicle departments can tell if you're driving an unregistered or uninsured cars. All sorts of things come to mind. We have enough big brother already. |

| 1204391 | 2011-05-24 01:03:00 | I know that when I bought my current car that my insurance was arranged over the phone and I went into the insurance office at a later date to pay the bill. The insurance company have not even laid eyes on my vehicle. Mind you if I made false statements to them then this could negate any future claims made by me. If electronic devices are placed in a vehicle I think that it is OK as long as the information is for my personal use only. I would hate to think that information was being fed back to other agencies. |

| 1204392 | 2011-05-24 01:26:00 | You'd be gagged by the situation here then . Insurance companies want access to the black boxes installed in recent vehicle models to ascertain if the driver tried to mitigate the accident or not . Did he hit the brakes or try to change direction to avoid an accident? If not, and since California is one of a few still existing tort-law states, if it can be proven that the driver didn't try to minimize the losses to the insurance company, they could walk off on the driver and he'd have no insurance at the time of the accident . This is a slippery slope indeed . So far the courts have not held it likely that the insurance companies are to be allowed to access the information - yet . But wait until a Holly Weird celebrity needs that info for themselves, then the law will change . |

Surely thought diabetics would have more portable means of testing their sugar levels . Yup, diabetics do have a small little blood tester . Sugar levels only affect your driving ability if very high or very low and will be typically Type 1 diabetics sarel |

| 1204396 | 2011-05-24 02:20:00 | Ford also now stands for Full Of Rubbish Devices. Add this to Fix Or Replace Daily, Found On Rubbish Dump, and Fails Often Requiring Disposal. Fortunately with Fords there are two redeeming features, the thing probably won't work, and it's a Ford - who cares? ;) |

| 1204397 | 2011-05-24 02:22:00 | FORD = Found On Road, Dead. I just swapped my Ford Econovan for a Toyota Funcargo. Good move I think but there are a few buttons in it that I have yet to figure out what they are for. My old Ford can be found dead up my drive at the moment. |
