We have them in our vehicles. I’ll give a few pointers on how to stay out of trouble with it:

- don’t speed
-wear your seatbelt
- keep your phone in your pocket no matter what
- drive slow enough to avoid all hard braking (that is what triggers them)

I had to fire an employee recently because of repeated drive-cam offenses. Follow the steps above and you will have no problem.

The UAE monitors all of their traffic with cameras and this is what gets people fined more than anything. They have cameras everywhere that automatically pick up if you’re holding your phone and driving. Within a day you get an alert that you have a fine for distracted driving. I wouldn’t be opposed to the US doing this.

The system they’re using allows for a customizable speed threshold, and there’s no lying to these like you could the old gps units to argue the map speed limit is wrong because they’ll even catch construction zone temp signs and adjust. The company should explain speed expectations though. We always triggered at 7 over for 10 minutes and 10 over for 2 minutes. Anyone who configures for spike hits is just a cock sucker.

The hard braking shouldn’t be an issue on these since they’ll actually flag a positive if the driver reacts quickly, but it will ding you for following too close. This systems actually quite good if configured properly and keeps a lot of the nuisance bullshite flags off the score.
