Onstar was with her along with 9 local and county sheriffs, driving near her. For 21 minutes she was directed where to turn, finally guiding her to a parking area. Where she was told where to park and not to move, officers were in place to keep her safe. The man jumped out of his car with a tire iron, tried to get inside. Within seconds Leo’s took over situation (man had been convicted of prior abduction). The Onstar advisor acting quickly to get Sheriff in place to save her. For us without that technology she could have been attacked or worse. For the last 4 years she goes to schools to give her accounts and warnings of what to do with either on board advisors or cellphones if anyone thinks they are could be in danger while driving. Not to hesitate calling even if it may be a false alarm. She is still in contact with the officers and Onstar advisor, thankful for their help, keeping her safe

Why is that tracking bad?
Ever have to brake hard to avoid a collision because someone pulls out right in front of you? = Rate increase. Ever drive in a school zone when school is closed and the blinking yellow lights are not on? = Rate increase. Ever drive on an interstate at 2mph above the speed limit? = Rate increase. Ever exceed the speed limit to pass another vehicle? = Rate increase. Ever allow someone else to drive your car, one time perhaps? Like a Valet or a serviceman, and you have zero control over what they do? = Rate increase. Do you think driving "perfectly" is possible, and if you did, your rate goes down? LOL ROFL |

Maybe you would allow the insurance company to install cameras in your home to make sure you don't have any unsafe throw rugs that would affect your liability premium? How about a bathroom camera to insure you use the grab bar in the shower correctly??? After all, just like driving, they are "protecting" you by encouraging "safe" behavior and rating up the premiums on those that don't comply with their rules. Yes, Big Brother is watching. |

I would absolutely argue that three confusing sentences buried in a fifteen page EULA is not "informing the user."

When I purchase an automobile and have the title, I OWN it, and everything in it, including any computer components. When I own it, I control it. Nobody else has the authority to use it for any reason. If I want my insurance company to track me, then I will give them permission to install their tracking equipment. Otherwise, it's an invasion of privacy.
If you're worried about your physical safety from others, then carry a firearm. If you're worried about getting lost, then learn how to read a map. If you're worried about getting locked out of your vehicle, then carry a spare set of keys or key fob. If you don't know how to change a flat tire, then don't drive. Don't give up your personal freedoms for a bit of convenience. My own opinion, and I've told countless Chevy and GM salesmen ..".Onstar is for idiots".[/LIST] |

Ultimately, however, I agree with you. I don't want to be tracked and I don't want to be monitored, I don't want to give an inch then find out I've lost a mile. That is why I have declined to enroll in any voluntary monitoring program.

It's not dissimilar to a recent thread where a poster was "happy" that sheriff pulled over a "speeder" on BV (limit 35) because he "deserved" it while that poster was driving at 42 and the other guy was going faster. I never got a response to my comment that he was also "speeding" and maybe the slug going 28 thought that HE deserved it as well. So, did he have a tracking device??? I doubt it. |

You get rated up for going 1 mph over the speed limit, or Slam on the brakes to avoid a 3 year old kid, or Floor it through the intersection with a green light when you notice some bozo running the red light and headed straight for you. I'm sure the insurance company would attentively listen to your story, and then rate you up anyway---after all, what's the downside for them? |
