to cat 5 tracker or not...my F12

[speedbird1000]

Well I got myself an F12. Re. insuring it, just wondering if people here are accepting of having a Cat 5 Tracker in it ?

Seems like a bad idea to me, as the tracker data can ultimately be used against you. Obviously there may be times when an F12 may exceed the speed limits, and its like a third party (the tracker monitoring center) is building up a file on every incident of that, and it may get called up one day. It has already been called up in a court before and the data used against speeders.... Just feels all wrong.

Anyone got a policy where it is not needed ? thanks for any pointers.

ok, imagine driver had an unfortunate accident. not their fault but say was hard to prove. Was a bit over the speed limit maybe. Maybe the circumstances looked like they were 30 mph over the limit. So prosecution/judge orders the tracker history. and they have do so before. Then that last trip to wales, were driver enjoyed stretching the legs of that v12, but in safe road conditions as we do.....that changes the matter into one where the data makes them out to be a "lunatic" or whatever, as the f12 is so fast.....and so decision is it is best to spend some time behind bars...OK, this fictional scenario is a stretch, but, that is the real risk of that cat 5 tracker....other than getting your car back after it has been recovered as a wreck from the nearest housing estate when i prefer not to get it back. I just see no upside, all big downside...

"The speed indication given by your satnav receiver or vehicle tracking device is calculated by change in position (as determined by satellite fix) over time. It is inherently more accurate, even more so at higher speeds, than a dashboard speedometer. The accuracy of different units vary, but as a rule of thumb, assuming that there are at least 3 satellites visible in the sky, the GPS reading for speed will be accurate to about ±0.1mph.".......

Seems to me that modern Trackers do upload data that can incriminate you very easily indeed......

I think google maps doing same, but can switch off.

Tracker - you can't. and i read cat 5 trackers handily come with your personal id type card to unlock it .

It really is a spying on you device.
