I opted into a telematics program to decrease my car insurance policy, but sometimes, I like to drive real fast. What can I do to turn off the telematics?

Turning the telematics off on your car can definitely make you feel a little less risky when you’re driving. But if you want to forego the possible
insurance discounts
, you can turn it off in the following ways:
  • If it’s an OBD, just pull it out of the port.
  • If it’s an app, just delete the app from your phone.
  • Also if it’s an app, turn off your mobile data. This will ensure that you aren’t distributing your speed across the network.
Telematics is a great way to lower your car insurance bill. But if you don’t shop around with
