Any pre-OBDII system vehicle owner should be able to sue the pants off them for discriminatory practice.

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.

I had forgotten about those. I was keying only on the OBD II angle.

Whoever ends up monitoring this stuff will be in for a surprise when I take my 35 year old beater out for a spin at, say, Road Atlanta or Sebring.

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