MT get to 1984???

[rest have risen above me]

Are MT vehicles getting a snooper system? There was some light up system on an astra from MT today that apparently reports transgresions back to the powers that be.

Indeed. And it is a pile of sihte (unless you are Driving Miss Daisy). 71 on the m/way and you're red, 69 in a 30 and your green...

I read a thing about it at work "apparently" its because we drive MT vehicles like we stole them and they are trying to cut it down on the bad driving and crashes. Biggest offenders are the MT Drivers themselves

Who does this thing report to then? And how? I assume it's GPS based.

Sounds far to technical for MT. Mind you they are all fleet vehicles so this probably comes from the civvy "owners" of the wagons.

And what will the punishment be, F600 gone, better get everyone tow trained because if the Linies see these lights it will just be another challenge trying to keep it in the red. DT_Xtremez_30:

F600 gone

No driving in the Stan then. Shame.

Not to mention if it was a RAF/MOD addition to the fleet then the civvy Co will have a dicky fit and charge them for the vehicle, since it would loose resale value.

So your probably right, it would come from the civvy Co.

There is a download type small disk jobber by the ignition barrel like they use on tills. How frequent they use it though is anyones guess. Taking a lappy out after every journey would be cost effective though eh?

I have been reliably informed (by a RAF scuffer) that they are only interrogated after an accident. It is as much to protect the driver as it is to prosecute!!

Sounds like a fit up to me ....he he

It has been around for years. Will also tell if you use the car for unauthorised journeys. Was initially called 'Greenfield Technology', do not know what it is called now. Used in most civvy police cars also and can be used in many ways.

 

[Tin basher]

Mt get all 1984. So it's back to Vauxhall Chevettes and all radios removed from all motors then.

 

[MTC28]

MT at Air Command have already fitted these systems to their white fleet.

It came from the MoD as they self insure, cost per year is £25m+ for all accidents across the MoD, most of which involve white fleet.

Can't wait

Can't wait

As I'm colour blind I'll just ignore it as I won't be able to tell the difference.

I think the ECU can be interrogated even without this little flashing light gizmo and coppers capture the gen after a crash if they want to.

"only thirty officer" innocent driver.

"ECU says nearly 70, and outside a school, you're nicked sonny" Jobs worth copper who should be spending his time nicking proper criminals not innocent hard done to drivers.

 

[jack brew]

The new MAN trucks have GPS trackers as standard fit.

I havent laughed so much in years, I dont know about 1984 but I have never seen so many conspiracy theories in one thread. Why dont you all just ask your MT sections to explain it to you, they are actually required to do that and have been given handouts to give to drivers when they are issued a car which has it fitted.
Greenroad are the company who are operating the system and the round disc in the car is for a driver operated key which will log him on as the driver of a journey, nothing at all to do with downloading anything. The only people who have access to the collected statistics are the MTO and maybe MTTT&L if he delegates to them. The data collected by the system is uploaded by GPRS to the company who then load them onto a secure server, this is accessed by the MTO by use of a secure password system. The RAFP should not have access to the data unless the MTO has given them the password, which he should not be doing. Too much info to give here, have a look at the website http://www.greenroad.com/ If you want to know more pm me and if you can supply an MoD or military e-mail I will send you all the info.

You can buy a jammer online that plugs into the fag lighter; only downside is you need to plug it in and unplug it at the journey starting point (point of origin and return) for the journey you might accidentally speed on

Very handy if you want to borrow a vehicle or caravan that may have an anti theft GPS tracker on it.

So every vehicle in the MOD fleet could be pin pointed by a civilian company at any time, nice.
