Box In Co Car??

[bored0]

I have a box in a new company car that I have no idea of its function .. It is around 50mm long 15mm wide and has 1234 * on it?

The gear stick? Or, read the Instruction Manual.

Whereabouts in the car is it?

[gingejbee]

That's a very small box...where is it?

[SSSid]

Is it the box that the locking wheel nuts were in?

Yes it is a tracker,compulsory from next year. It tracks your driving , where and when you go and how well you drive, lets your insurance / car owner / employer know if you exceed the speed limit as well. Big Brother has arrived!
They will soon be connected to the police as well and will track your car if it is stolen. (as well as automatically issuing speeding fines without need for speed cameras.)

But the trackers are also connected to the GPS satellites so they track the cars location 24/7 365. Your company will know exactly where the car is at any time so no sneaking off on a private journey unless you want the boss to know.

I would have said Tony, Another EU Law that this weak Government fails to challenge like everything else, Did we win the 2nd World War? I am beginning to wonder.
