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.
The Tru-drive Telematic Damper is made from 19mm closed-cell neoprene—the same material used in professional shock absorption. It sits between your black box and the surface it’s mounted on, absorbing the vibrations and jolts from the road before they reach the sensors. This DOES NOT tamper with your black box or alter its technology; it’s just cushioning it, like a luxury car’s padded dashboard would.
