Tracker is jsut that, a tracker.
We use monitoring in our trucks for braking, acceleration etc... Its a seperate bit of software.
tbh, think your getting a bit worried over nothing. Its to stop drivers taking the piss with "rest" stops, extra long lunches and friday afternoon pub sessions.
Look at it from the company end. Sure you pay some tax, but who bought the van? Who taxes, insures, maintains, repairs the van?
Now look at is as the owner of the company. Giving out vans, and work still to be done. Many "on the road" people take the piss, go home early, longer lunches etc. Not all, but most. I've done it myself.
Remember your working for the company, not the company "sorting" you out. If they want a tracker on their car, they can have one.

Bit of strange question but here we go,
I have a company car which i pay tax on to use for personel mileage
we had all our engineers vans fitted with trackers so we could find the nearest in relation to a break down etc etc.
now they are saying the sales team are getting them for insurance purposes. Now is there any way that people know of be it law or something that can be used to stop this happening?
the reason i dont want one is they can see and it records every time you go over a speed limit, brake hard, turn hard, accerlerate hard etc. And they can look at where you have been etc over a weekend and in your own time.
As i pay a lot in tax for this car i don't see why i cant use it for my enjoyment etc in my time ie back road on the way home etc or to see friends at weekend.
i know what idiots the hr people can be with our van drivers and some have had warnings for there driving, and i dont want them to do the same on a Monday after a weekend of spirted driving
people thoughts?
Your car is on your P11d i,e benefit inkind
How you use your car is at your own risk
i.e if you speed then thats your isk
i fyou want to do 1000 private miles a week then thats your choice
If your car does not have a compnay logo on it then you are not reprenting the compnay thus bad driving is your risk
if it has logo's you could argue you are not presenting the compnay in a good light
