Does GPS tracking teenage drivers really make them better drivers? According to a recent study, the answer is YES. While some parents may feel awkward using GPS tracking to monitor their child’s driving habits, it
turns out that use of GPS tracking devices do, in fact, improve teen driving habits–especially if the teenage driver is aware that there is a GPS tracker in his or her vehicle.
A new study released by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety showed that
when teens know that their driving was being monitored by their parents they
perform better behind the wheel than their non-monitored counterparts.

A New York Department of Labor employee is suing his previous employer for
planting a GPS tracking device on his personal vehicle. The man, who
was fired in August of 2010 for suspected time-sheet violations, is suing
the New York Department of Labor for implanting a GPS device in his car in
2008 while he was at work. The data from this device was a major factor in his
termination.
The man and the ACLU have filed a petition against the state. Currently the
matter awaits a ruling in the NY state appeals court.
The device was actually installed by the Inspector General’s office. However,
the New York branch of the ACLU cites that the covert GPS tracking system violates the state’s constitution.

You have probably seen a lot of car insurance commercials telling you how much money you can save if you are
willing to switch to their company. But what if youcould save some cash without switching over to a new company with the help of a GPS tracking unit.
What if, instead of having your rate solely based on a set of generic factors (your
age, gender or marital status) you could actually lower your rates by lowering your risk of theft. With a GPS tracker program your insurance company may be willing to offer you a discount on your insurance premiums.
A study conducted by the Brookings Institution suggests that two-thirds of
households would actually pay lower rates, up to 28% less, if GPS tracking devices were installed on their vehicles or heavy equipment.

According to the article, the suspect cut the chain link fence behind the construction business, stole the GPS equipped truck and shingles, and even painted over the truck’s business logo.
Police tracked the vehicle throughout the night, and ultimately recovered both the truck and the shingles. A suspect is in custody.
