I think it could have a creeping effect into other stuff. But, then again, if they want to track you they will without this.

Each month the data is down loaded- if your in the red for three months then you don't drive company vehicles anymore untill you have re-completed the company driving course.
It was set in place due to driving accidents being the biggest killer in the company.
Yep they are a pain.......but today heart attacks are now the major killer

They track you too.
The worst thing is its not for safety - its for marceting purposes- your privacy out the window for a cheap sale
