Our family shares one car with driver
that runs multiple trips every day.The car starts the daily trip by dropping
off the kids, coming back home and picking me up, driving to work and then
getting back home for my wife to use it for her daily errands. Often the car
wouldn’t get back home on time after the school drop. The driver blamed the
chaotic Bangalore traffic and I had no option but to believe him. I always
suspected the car was taking a longer route back from school, but had no way of
confirming my suspicion. Moreover, my monthly fuel expenses kept climbing up
for no reason. Without concrete evidence I had no way of questioning my driver
on how he used the car between trips.
That’s when my neighbor suggested
installing the personal vehicle tracking system from SafeKar in my car to track and monitor the trips. In the
beginning, I wasn’t very enthused by the idea. I thought of it as yet another
gadget that would retire in a few months for lack of use. But six months down,
today I realize it was a smart move.
SafeKar provided me with trip details for
every trip the car made on a daily basis. It showed the stoppages, Idling and
overspeeding instances during each trip. With a click of a button I was able to
create geofences or virtual boundaries and the device sent me email alerts
every time a geo fence was crossed. Now I could clearly see how my driver was abusing
my trust and misusing the vehicle to make extra trips between pickups. The bar
graph clearly marked the days when the vehicle had run more than expected. I
was able to dig into the reports and pull out information that proved vehicle
misuse. I caught the driver red-handed and ended up replacing him.
Today I realize when I invested in
SafeKar, I not only did invest in safety of my family and car but also bought
myself peace of mind. I no longer worry about driver making unauthorized trips.
The device is discreet and non-intrusive alerts notify me immediately if
something goes awry. I am able to manage fuel and other expenses with a
one-click interface and I can track my car in real time. With an easy to use
smartphone app, SafeKar lets me be in complete control of my car regardless of
whether I am driving it or someone else is!
