That's what we are being told anyway

I see the game was called off and a controlled explosion carried out.

I wonder if it was the real thing or the police being cautious?

DeeGee touched on something else there.....I know there's been at least one case where the police used a tracker to disable a vehicle containing a kidnapper and his victim, a small child. I forget the circumstances, but seem to remember it was over some sort of child-custody case. I know that I paid...

Any recommendations for the swingarm? It's got some chips on it from the chains. My fault for being so clumsy.

I like having a day time nap when I stop at the services so still a no from me

I don't see the problem using them on commercial vehicles. I've had a case where a council tried to pass a nasty claim on to my client as they said the work wasn't done. The tracker information showed it was. Likewise we defended a trucker involved in a multiple fatal. Facing charges including causi...

Interesting thread, fwiw I'm on a tracker on my company vehicle, initially I viewed it exactly the same as Perkles - it's intrusive and it essentially says that your employer doesn't trust you. However, a few years back one of the sales reps at my previous company was on a sales call and pulled over...

This all reminds me of a case about a decade or more ago...think it was Chicago or Detroit area, if memory serves. A 5 years-old boy was struck & killed by a car. The driver claimed to have been driving at or around the speed limit. A subsequent investigation of the data in the car's computer st...

Aka "to beat your enemy, you must know your enemy"

I know that with a couple of my clients who run small fleets of Company cars, the insurers insist on one or two of the drivers using a black box all the time due to their accident/speeding records. Doubt it will be many years before that filters down to all of us.

I always try to work with my opposite number

Ah, OK, so we work on opposite sides then

Tonight will mainly involve alcohol, perfect antidote to a hard week.

Tomorrow see's a skip being delivered and some gardening man style, read as destruction and power tools.

Bike is booked in for it's mot (only 2 weeks late this time)

Sunday will probably be more "gardening"

This morning I had a long chat with an expert we use for accident investigations and reconstructions. He's been to an annual conference and gave me a call to give me an update as it's an area we deal in.

Do you deal in personal injury claims?

There's a 'black box' device available here for getting around this stuff. Allegedly it fits right under the dash, and there's a few connectors to get it all hooked up and sending out some kind of false signal from one of 20 other cars or sommit. If I were to have a stepson who was into street-racin...

A lot of sales guys I know are now having trackers fitted to company cars to track what youve been up to ,I wouldnt accept a job with one.The whole reason I love sales is the freedom it gives you
Big brother can go do one

erm may I remind you of our ride last Sunday down the Stratford to Worcester dual carriage way

Being smoother but making similar progress will help return better mpg
