Wales' 20mph speed limit: Black box error halts teen's insurance
A driver's car insurance was suspended due to a computer error that read the speed limit on 60mph roads as 20mph.
Connor Davies , 17, from Penrhyncoch, Ceredigion, said The Black box monitor in his car started incorrectly triggering Dangerous Driving alerts.
on 17 September.
Sterling Insurance said it suspended Connor's cover for four days but has reinstated his policy and apologised for the " technical issue".
" It was very frustrating, " Connor said, " like what I was saying wasn't the truth".
Connor's mum Angela was also getting the notifications and said she told him to " take it down a bit" thinking he was accelerating too quickly as a new driver, having only passed his test three weeks earlier.
" But Connor said 'I haven't been speeding', " she added.
Connor tried a different route on his nine-mile drive to work as an upholstery apprentice, but the " unacceptable driving" alerts kept pouring in.
Finally he took his dad in The Car to show him that driving 32mph through a 40mph zone still resulted in a speed warning.
When the comprehensive part of his cover was suspended on Friday for all the speeding alerts, Connor took a Day Off work to call The Company and try to find a solution.
Angela said her son was being " punished for something he hadn't done".
Sterling Insurance made Angela and her son go to the locations of his alleged speeding infractions and take pictures of The Road signs next to a digital map on a phone.
Connor's sister, the model and Social Media influencer Jess Davies, even posted details of her Little Brother 's dilemma to her 167,000 followers on X, formerly known as Twitter.
