    Thats all temporary stuff. Same as the tape and Vaseline. I’m wondering about permanent solutions.

    Sandpaper is best suggestion. Someone talked about a taser, don’t know about that, but there may be a way to fry the circuits.

    I’m not gonna do any of this, just know others that work there that would. Many are planning to quit anyway.

    If you have a long visor you can bend it down a bit to block the view of you. We often do this anyhow to block the sun. So just say you left the visor there.

    Others have done that. They literally made the mechanics cut part of the visor out. I mean it’s like I’m working for the warden and captain of the guards at Shawshank.

    Take a picture of yourself behind the wheel driving and put it in front of the lens.

    It’s a video cam. They showed videos in our safety meeting of guys not stopping completely at stop signs and such. Think it’s 12 seconds if it trips.

    Take a 13 second video of you driving and loop it on an old cellphone.
