The UK insurer is analyzing social media poststo determine who deserves a lower premium. People who seem cautious and deliberate in their choice of words are likely to pay less than those with overconfident remarks.
Admiral is set to try out the system on a new product called firstcarquote, which will provide car insurance to 17 to 21-year-olds.
