It sounds like the one installed records data for later playback.
I would have thought that GPS data would be extremely accurate with the modern receivers.
Well done them. I bet the force try to find something the next time he goes out on a drive.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

The trouble is that every car will end up with one with a ticket printer in the glove box; a wireless connection to the DVLA who will contact you via
your incar phone to let you know you've been banned.
Bit like Bruce Willis's character in Fifth Element!

We have a system like that in our works vans it will tell you what road, speed or if the vehicle is idling. It can also be set so that if someone
parks in say a motor factors time can be set for how long a stop should be expected to collect parts. If someone stops longer than expected then
system flags it up.
Or you can watch the vans on a map or on like a google earth background. Its bloody annoying as some of the pricks with internet access use it just to
spy and get a ego trip out of it. Which i think is out of order especially when an engineer is off and allowed to use the van for personal use!
It also sends message to manager as soon as a van hits 77 mph record so for is 6 in first hour of getting a van!

How accurate is GPS speed though when on an incline?

think ours must work of the speedo or somethin as putting a large magnet around the ariel kills the speed but no the location!!
but the hidden switch a few guys have below the dash works even better :p

thats a scary thought simon!
however you do realise that it would mean DVLA being on the ball, clued up, responsive etc. the technology might be there but i think this is probably
a long way off....

It also assumes the general public would be stupid enough to accept the system and not rip the box out and carry on driving
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

My last ticket was 92 on motorway. I was pretty sure i was doing less as GPS was showing mid 80's. Obviously didnt bother arguing as i was
speeding and no court proceedings were required (fine would be the same). It does however raise questions over how accurate GPS and police speed guns
actually are.
I lways thought GPS sat nav must be quite accurate otherwise position would be way out on a long run unless they are constantly re-assessing true
position. I know there is always a small difference between speedo indicated speed and GPS speed. Interestingly when on a flat road and switch the
average speed on the onboard computer it shows halfway between GPS and speedo.
