ICBC launches computerized information pilot project for new drivers

The Insurance Corp. of B.C. is launching another pilot project that utilizes long-distance transmission of computerized information — “telematics” — to track the way new drivers behave on the road.
ICBC is inviting up to 7,000 drivers with less than five years of experience to take part in the pilot in a bid to determine whether the technology can improve their driving and make roads safer.
ICBC says new drivers are 5.6 times more at risk of getting into a crash
