   I looked it up.   
      
   Apparently, in the U.S., insurance companies can offer GPS-based tracking   
   programs to high-risk drivers. This is often those who have been convicted   
   of driving offenses. It's a way to potentially lower premiums, but   
   participation is typically voluntary.   
      
   They even have a name for it!   
   It's called usage-based insurance (UBI) or pay-how-you-drive plans.
