How the politicians and other economic vampires are going to survive if they cannot trace you and ask for your contribution to their living standards? :p
It is good that some of us are quite happy to live a simple life and far away of the big smoke :)

Mate, I dont need to be self sufficient in every sense. Thats what the camels are for ie: to get to the store for supplies every three months.

I got to thinking last night. There must be alot of vacant rent free holes in the ground at Coober Pedy. Bloke could make a nice comfortable little abode for himself. With a sign out the front "Beware of the occupant ".
I wouldn't bother about gem digging tho.
Also, I would be in the right area to do some serious painting. Surrounded by all those beautiful deserts.
Hmmm.

I'm all for it .... The proviso is every single government funded car should be fitted with them for a decade, with all results recorded displayed instantaneously on a website for all to view. If this works out well after 10years of testing on all government vehicles (including police cars and politicians vehicles) then we can talk about fitting them to private vehicles.

Works for me.

then they will stop using the cars and start using the government funded credit cards to hire taxis to visit places where they shouldn't

No need to be in phone coverage area, it'd simply store info till you returned to civilisation, and you'd never know.

If a good programmer really wanted to develop such a thing, it'd probably take from now till tomorrow lunchtime to get working...

Good idea!!! I will tell my sons to write an app for a Win8 based phones :D

They can **** right off with this. It's all about information and what people pay for it.

The insurance companies will have more opportunities to refuse insurance cover after taking your premium money and as you don't own the device or information, they are free to sell it to whoever wants it.

Targeted internet advertising works based on your history of sites visited and puts up ads based on your pattern of use. This is all part of how Facebook makes it's money. The constant monitoring of your movements via your car travel is just another step in this direction.

And if you think they'll drop the premiums just because you have it fitted or may be their version of a better driver think again. The "good drivers" will stay the same (high) prive and the "bad" will go up even higher.

A short sharp dose of should fix it.
