More on Car Black Boxes
As a followup to last month’s newsletter.
More states are considering legislation about black boxes. In an AP article, James Warden cites an official with the National Conference of State Legislatures, who says that North Dakota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and West Virginia may join California with black box laws on the books.
Warden also notes that State Farm insurance requires its customers to assist in crash investigations. If you are a State Farm customer, this means that you have already given up your right to withhold black box data from them in the event of a crash. Forewarned is forearmed.
