It was guaranteed savings of 10% per month, or something like that, based 
on  your driving habits.  Monthly, I uploaded the data to the web, and the  
next month my insurance went down.  It showed average drive time, average  
speed, jackrabbit starts, panic stops.
 
Some folks would take that as a personal challenge! A state in the  
Northeast set up a radar gun on an overpass with the radar aimed up a straight  
part of the freeway. They installed a large MPH sign on the freeway to warn  
motorists of their speed. A week later they found a spray painted starting 
line  about a quarter mile up the roads. Guys were seeing who could set the 
fastest  speed by the time they went under the overpass. They had to re-program 
the  display to just flash 55+ when people exceeded the limit.  Boys will 
be  boys!
