    That is how the black box system works - bad driving increases your premium.

    The issue starts when they say your driving badly. How bad does teh driving have to be?

    If your doing 30mph and a child runs out. You brake sharply and avoid them. The box doesnt know what happened only that you braked and swerved sharply.
