Default Sign on for "Progessive Insurance's" Big-Brother ride-along

My son went with Progressive. He was 26 (unmarried) when he bought
his first car (Dodge SRT Magnum) so he didn't have any insurance
history and going with any other insurance company would have cost him
huge. So he's with Progressive and is enjoying reduced rates. They
told him he will maintain those rates, but if his tracking device
shows he's not an "aggressive" driver they'll come down further. They
won't come down because he romps on that 425HP Hemi, but once he
establishes an insurance history he'll be able to shop around.

All things considered, I'd say Progressive is a winner.
