Ummmm, I have a device fitted in my car " Speed Camera Sensor" Cost £35.00 well worth the money, in our area of Blackburn, there are Speed cameras all over the place, it's so easy to go over 30mph, I think it will help the drivers with devious claims, I have two fitted, Front / Rear, there was a problem around this area by Devious persons??????.
Up to a point I would agree on cameras to be fitted to vehicles. I've gotta say that because I already have cameras forward facing and rearward facing!
Problems start if you make it a legal requirement on the specifications to be used for the cameras. Court quality cameras would obviously be a requirement, but most add-on cameras would fail miserably in that case.
Many buses in the UK have cameras fitted inside and out just to mitigate false insurance claims. You would be quite surprised how many buses video files have been accessed by the police.

EDDIE, Motobility is only fitting tracking devices to a few of their vehicles and you would be notified if they have done so. I think think they are just using them on certain vehicles that are exhibiting unusual behaviours, very high mileage users for example, to check that the disabled user is the one using the vehicle or it is being used solely for the benefit of that person. We are collecting ours in the next few weeks and no tracker is being fitted to ours.

///To ensure that you are gaining direct benefit from your Motability car, in some cases we may talk to you about fitting a location tracker. An example of this could be if you live in a care home and a number of drivers have access to your car. If a location tracker is identified as appropriate, we will always speak to you in advance of the tracker being fitted.///
Good idea and I have a camera in my car and I have a cam for pushbike/motor bike. Not sure about making it law though, the problem is that to make this work by law as such, you'd have a minefield of stuff to navigate. What camera? is there a mimimum standard? should it be on at all times? Penalty for camera no working? How long must we keep the data? How would the technophobes deal with it? I know a guy who still uses a VCR!
Ratter, all new Motability cars issued now have trackers fitted as standard. We are due a change of car in September it will have a tracker. It was on the news magazine we get that all Motability cars are now issued with trackers as standard. They monitor speed , braking, use of gears. as well as location.
EDDIE, not according to this. http://
