The Motability Scheme has introduced a new rule requiring drivers to install 'black box' monitoring devices. The devices will be fitted to all first-time vehicle leases, wheelchair accessible vehicles, and cars driven by those under 30. They will monitor driving behavior, including speed, braking patterns, and mobile phone usage, generating weekly green, amber, or red assessments. Safe drivers maintaining a green status could earn up to £160 annually in rewards. However, those accumulating four red assessments within 12 months risk being removed from the scheme. The scheme has also halved the annual mileage allowance from 20,000 to 10,000 miles before excess charges apply.
