Mandatory GPS tracking involves using GPS technology in all vehicles to monitor driving behavior and improve road safety. Proponents argue that it enhances road safety and reduces accidents by monitoring and correcting dangerous driving behaviors. Opponents argue that it infringes on personal privacy and could lead to government overreach and misuse of data.

If someone is caught tailgating or speeding/driving unsafely- the consequences must reflect this and a tracker may be a good option for this.
@9P26G362 days2D
Too complex for a yes/no answer, but this should be debated and a decision made based on factual information and a balance of practicality and morality.
@9NYLWQH3 days3D
Encouraged but not mandatory. Unless you have a job that relies on you being a safe driver then understandably it may be a requirement in that situation.
@9NQVDL77 days7D
Not for monitoring people's driving but yes for locations it could be useful incase someone goes missing or gets lost
@9NP4LC71wk1W
Only for those who have committed traffic offences, and on a short-term basis for the most minor offences.
@9NJL3HB1wk1W
could be useful to track stolen vehicles however dont see how this would be implemented as someone will find a way to disable it..
@9NHBXFZ2wks2W
Maybe put in vehicles where the drivers have points on their licences or who are being monitored for other offences. Also put more cameras on pedestrian crossings.
@9NCWCQN2wks2W
Yes, for an efficient network including self driving vehicles to work the location of every vehicle on the road should be known at all times
@9NBB2V8Women's Equality 2wks2W
I see why it would be useful and would help get bad drivers off of the roads but privacy is also a right.
@9N928LD2wks2W
Yes, but only for those convicted of road related offences, sex offenders and people aged under 21 years old.
@9N828LX2wks2W
Yes but only on people with points on their licence or previous history of dangerous driving
@9N75W54 2wks2W
Yes; for R plate drivers, anyone who has points on their license, and anyone over pension age.
No, only for drivers who have previously committed offences.
@9N666JR2wks2W
Only to people that have not driven safely on the road before or criminals who are out of jail
yes, but only those with points on their licence, duis etc
@9N4WL8F2wks2W
Yes, but only if the driver has committed a crime or their vehicle has been stolen in the past.
@9N4WYRP2wks2W
Yes, but only if they have a criminal history or history of traffic accidents
@9N4P2PG2wks2W
No, there are other ways to tackle road safety and reckless driving
@9N46VWR2wks2W
Yes, for drivers who have continuously been caught driving irresponsibly on the road.
@9N3JGHF2wks2W
Yes, for people who have previously been caught driving dangerously (i.e speeding, running a red light). People with more serious offences (i.e DUI, at fault of an accident) should have to retake their driving test before being allowed to drive.
@9MY48WG3wks3W
No, that will not solve the issue of reckless driving
@9MY3HGG3wks3W
This should be mandatory for all young, new and elderly drivers
@9MWTJLQ3wks3W
Yes, but use of data needs to be highly regulated to avoid misuse and governemtn over reach
Only to the elderly, there are more people over a certain age not being honest with their sight and health problems.
@9MPPWLW3wks3W
No, this is a violation of personal privacy and a breach of international human rights.
@ISIDEWITH4wks4W
No
@9NLTYMF1wk1W
I would counter by arguing that the government knowing where people’s vehicles are at all times will decrease the risk of grand theft auto, allow us to track anyone who is driving without insurance or license and the tracking would make finding people who are in trouble faster.
@ISIDEWITH4wks4W
Yes
@9NLTYMF1wk1W
The context is that during the 2022/23 financial year, there were more than 128,000 car thefts, a 19% increase from the prior year. This would decrease as people would be aware that we know where all cars are and they cannot escape.
