There are already stand-alone instruments that measure braking, cornering and accelleration forces. The car magazines used to use them to measure performance, perhaps they still do. I'm sure that the insurance companies will be quick to adapt that hardware to their system, so the pre-OBD car owners can get the lower rates, too.

The insurance companies won’t bother - too much work for them, for so few cars.
