[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 503468, member: 12570"] I would think that if my behavior behind the wheel were the cause of an accident then I would accept the blame and face the consequences. On the flip side, Telematics can also be used to prove that my behavior behind the wheel actually helped me stay in control and that I did everything that I could to avoid and then minimze the impact of an accident. Monitoring devices have been a part of our culture for some time. Are you familiar with EZ Pass? This is the highway toll collection system which uses a device in your car to wirelessly pay the tolls from your pre-paid account. Did you know that divorce lawyers use these records in efforts to prove infidelity or that govt agencies use these to prove cases of misuse of govt vehicles? These are also used to monitor traffic flow and to change the traffic patterns to improve it. Parents can buy Black Boxes to monitor their kids' driving behaviors and can install chips in their cell phones to monitor both location and whether they are using them while driving. As far as the bribing of politicians I dare say you may have read one too many fiction novel. [/QUOTE]
