Motability drivers are now required to install black boxes in their vehicles, with a 10-day window to comply. The new rule, effective this week, aims to monitor driving behaviour and potentially reduce insurance costs.
The devices, also known as telematics, track speed, braking, and mileage. Failure to install the black box within the specified timeframe may result in penalties or loss of benefits.
Motability, the UK's largest car scheme for disabled people, stated that the measure is designed to promote safer driving and could lead to lower premiums for careful drivers.
