Telematic black boxes use accelerometers to measure your driving. When you hit a pothole, speed bump, or rough road surface, the device records it as “harsh braking” or “dangerous driving.”
This isn’t fair. You’re being penalised for road conditions you can’t control. It’s essentially a hidden road tax that young drivers are forced to pay.
The result? Lower driving scores, higher insurance premiums, and worried parents who think you’re driving dangerously.
✗ Potholes and road damage
✗ Speed bumps and road humps
✗ Uneven road surfaces
✗ Railway crossings
✗Rough car park surfaces
Our patented neoprene dampers sit between your telematic device and your car’s surface. The hexagonal honeycomb design absorbs road vibrations before they reach the accelerometer.
This means your black box only records your actual driving behaviour – not the state of UK roads.
The result? Fairer scores, lower future premiums, and proof that you’re the good driver you know you are.
Wipe your dashboard or windscreen mount area clean and dry.
Remove the backing and place the damper where your black box sits.
Place your telematic box on top. Done! Start getting fairer scores.
Your telematics device tracks everything: speed, braking, cornering, acceleration, etc. It uses accelerometers—the same sensors in your phone that know when you’ve dropped it.
Here’s the catch: those sensors can’t tell the difference between you slamming the brakes and hitting a pothole at 30mph.
To the black box, both feel like harsh braking. Both hurt your score. Both cost you money.


British and other European roads are a mess! According to the RAC, there are over 1 million potholes reported every year. Speed bumps, uneven surfaces, roadworks—they’re everywhere.
If you’re a careful driver on rough roads, your black box punishes you for infrastructure you don’t control.
It’s like being fined for someone else’s bad driving. Except it’s legal, and it’s costing young drivers hundreds in higher premiums.
Stop letting potholes and bad roads ruin your driving score. Take control today and prove to your parents (and your insurance company) that you’re a great driver.
