    When I was a Cable Installer we had those in the trucks, G-Force, Quick Accel's, Hard Braking etc everything pissed that thing off. Some things would "Warn" you (Yellow Light) somethings would report you "Red". The Highway exit near my house went from 2 lane street to a 100ft onramp that was 100 ft from the next of ramp which meant Go left, FLOOR it, and then cut off the people trying to get OFF the highway so you could get ON. I had that thing report me like 10 times. Got into a screaming match with my office, then used my phones mount and turned it around creating a dash cam and recording when the system was reporting me for, when I showed them they watched it a couple times and went "Oh, crap, your really not driving crazy" Since I was never reported for anything else and they went over my logs they disabled that part of the system on my truck. There are PLENTY of turns here that even a semi truck would take a 20, those system are stupid. I'm staying on the no dash cam wagon. Was starting to look into Tanker companies and just learned from a thread here the other days many of them don't even let you use a HEADSET to talk on the phone..... NOPE!

    After all the warnings,you still went with Swift and their cameras. A former Marine should make wise decisions.

    He chose the Marines over the navy. I fail to see why you would think he would make wise decisions.

    Yes, I shouldn't be so kind. Those Marines used to run the Navy brigs and it was obvious they weren't familiar with the news paper column, "Miss Manners."
     
    BeanDip and Chewy352 Thank this.
