Nah, mine is pretty upfront about it. You can even opt in to get a device that plugs into your car to give them even more data to lower your premium if you're actually a good driver. That shit started when I was still in high school, too. Nobody else remember Flo from Progressive hawking these things?

and do you have one of those? Because form what I hear they beep when you're being a good drive too and you end up being a worse (than good) driver trying not to get the beeps

I had one years ago... It never made a sound. It just recorded how I drove and I started getting safe driver discounts on my insurance.
