Having A Tracker Fitted Could Prevent A Prosecution

Wednesday, 19. May 2010

Vehicle tracking is often seen as a bad thing by drivers who have them fitted in their vehicles as they tell their boss or the transport manager where they are at all times. However, the tracking device fitted in the van of an employee of Fords of Sidmouth, may have saved him from a prosecution and a fine. Another driver reported the van for speeding and running into him causing damage to his car. However, investigation into the Navman records showed that the van had not been speeding and in fact corroborated the statement made by the driver that he had actually slowed down and pulled over as he could see the car speeding towards him and it was the car that ran into him. After being confronted with the evidence the car driver withdrew his claim. As was pointed out, this happens far too often when vans have details of their business printed on the side making it easier for other drivers to claim compensation without even speaking to the driver. So along with the chipped engine and wide wheels you should now consider getting tracker’ed up! By Graham Hill
