Im Sure Its Been Asked Countless Times Lol
Topic 28830 | Page 2
That makes sense I reckon. Are there new sensors that can pick up the hard braking and sharp turns now? I don’t know if that was a thing when i drove. I guess if it was I just didn’t know anything about it.
Yes there are. Most of the ones I get are because I touch the lines. If I take a gradual corner over 15 mph, that's a stability issue and recently I had a hard brake. I asked around my company and still don't know who gets the reports....it sounds like the insurance company mandated it but no one in the office pays attention to the report.

Yep. Sensors that detect lane position alerts, rapid braking events, stability events (lean during turns due to speed), speed over limit based on GPS in EOBRD, following distance events, and likely some that they don't tell us about (NSA phone call monitoring for example?
) can all be monitored by the company safety / compliance staff. Those folks have no sense of humor, don't want excuses, and are NOT shy about notifying you and your driver manager of your transgressions.
