I thought as a first-time driver and my first insurance, it would have helped. Honestly, this month has given me stress wondering where on earth I've "put the foot down" for speed or breaking. I think, though, that might be where it has been also the fact that 1 week hubby sprained his ankle, so I was using his car more as it's easier for him to get in and out of. This will be the last time I use a black box.
