Plug and drive admiral

Hi, I’ve had admirals plug and drive box in for just under a month and it’s ruining my life. I’ve had my licence for 4 years and only been driving for over a month.. I opted for the plug and drive little black box option as it saved me over £350.

I am turning into a dangerous driver as I keep braking if I’m even slightly over 30 and other drivers are overtaking me constantly and it’s just making me into a nervous, anxious driver. Does anyone have any experience with this plug and drive box and can they tell me how accurate the readings are? It might make me a little less nervous to know that my insurance isn’t going to be voided if I go slightly over the limit.

    When you say "If I'm even slightly over 30"... You are definitely in a 30 limit, right...?

    Is there any way to see the feedback from it online?

    Buy a flat cap and string back gloves. You'll still be holding everyone up but you'll be much more comfortable (verging on smug) about doing so.

    Your speedo could be under reading by quite a bit. Download a gps speedometer app on a flat straight road drive at 30 and see what the app says. Then drive at the speed for the app to show 30. Do the same for 40, 50, 60, 70 to see if the error changes as speed increases.
