[QUOTE="Ashell, post: 1286411, member: 23726"] If only they made people that actually have work experience management. (instead of just their buddies.) I can tell this post is BS, because of the word "telematics." Its a fancy made up word that sounds technical. The truth of the matter when you have "safety" features like this, that don't work like a seat belt and protect you, or antilock breaks that add performance, you get things like this: Stop light cameras,"Some studies have confirmed many more rear-end collisions where red light cameras have been used, while right-angle crashes decreased, but the overall collision rate has been mixed as to whether the total crashes were higher when using red light cameras." [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_light_camera[/url] People become overly cautious, they stop using common sense, they become overly focused on the light, and less aware of surroundings. To say this "technology" makes us more safe is just some over paid goon trying to perpetuate his useless job. Telemetrics would allow the company to remove drivers that do not preform according to their measurement. If only we had these type of tattletale devices for management, like when they harass people, or shave time, or violate the contract, or just stand around talking about non work matters. It would save the company and the customer billions. The video camera exists, it could "measure" many of these events. But I am explicitly forbidden to bring one into work. [/QUOTE]
