    Don't you get your car crushed and a $40,000 in canada from street racing/drifting?

    Never heard that, there was that dude that got caught doing 299kmh on the highway past my place on his bike. Only like $1700 fines, no problemos.

    My stepdad had one of these fitted in his work van (which he's just handed back in as he quit) - Using this and their fuel bills they would work out a list of who was good and who was bad at filling up at cheap places etc. and who didn't give a fuck. He was one of the latter. Hated the job in the end so ragged the van, used it to drive to the coast every weekend and go fishing too.

    To be honest, I don't think they really bothered that much as he had been there about 25 years and pretty much told them to go fuck themselves. It might be more important on newer employees and in the next few years though! :/

    So what if your car has a flat or missing battery and your trailer your car 200 miles across the country then put a new battery in it? Big fine? Probably. This is just another bullshit government idea that the do not have the ability to pull off.

    What's the deal with switching off when you go drifting? Surely it knows your at the track?

    Got to agree with lozza anything post 2002 sucks, so artificial that people who enjoy driving actually get fucked off and can't be bothered

    I have one of those in my work van as well, but my boss is also my dad - so he doesn't give a flying fuck what I do with it, lol. I use it just as much for off work stuff (he even sends me to collect construction materials for his house with it etc) as I do for work, although I don't cover the same distances.

    I don't think he ever checks the logs for the other cars either, I think they only have it for insurance.

    Its a box that can be fit into any car, not just new cars. Insurance companies want to use them to see who's premiums should be cheaper and who they should charge more too. So it has nothing to do with new cars... Eventually, as much as it sucks, this is going to happen with most insurance companies.

    no. it really isnt.

    and if it did like ANY OTHER electronic device, it can be bypassed.

    so why the hell does this need two pages of worrying?
