9. Some insurance companies are suggesting that a driver's premiums could be lowered if they were willing to have their data recorder checked periodically. If the EDR showed that they did not speed and avoided excessive accelerations they could benefit by reduced rates. Discuss the risks and benefits of this idea. [Appendix A]
