What do I do?

Hi,

So my first insurance with Ticker got cancelled because I was speeding (I voluntarily cancelled it beforehand so I don't have to declare it). I am now looking at alternative policies, Tesco Bank Box is £1400 while I can get no black box (Privident) for £2000. Honestly I'm stuck between the two and there's lots of money to be saved.

Anybody with Tesco Bank Box and could you tell me what they're like? Or shall I bite the bullet and get no box?

Given you already had one policy cancelled for speeding under telematics.. I struggle to understand why you would be considering another!

I mean I can try drive better for another year instead. But I'm not sure if I should just get no box and spend an extra £600. I currently already have Tesco (bought it about a week ago) and I'm still in the cooling off period, so not sure whether to cancel to switch to Provident.

You're a fool for doing what you did on one telematics policy then taking another out.

You know what the answer is here.

Obviously it's not take out another telematics policy.......
How strict are black boxes with speeding surely your not penalised for doing 31mph in a 30?
