It depends…On the attitude of the microlisers. If as already mentioned, they’re a pious bunch of nit-pickers hell bent on criticising your every move then I’d be looking elsewhere for employment. If they’re using the data intelligently and maximising fleet performance yadder yadder yadder I have no problems with that.
However, my experience so far of Mercedes trucks regulating their own speed in traffic. In particular the exremely late braking when approaching stationary traffic that would leave a huge ‘bad boy’ braking mark on your score for the day. Leaves me thinking that the two technologies really aren’t in sync yet.
Very true. Had a harsh braking one the other day because a learner driver appeared to think they were pulling a low-loader behind their Micra, with the swing they took to turn left. Haven’t heard anything about it. My old place were obsessed with it, if I got asked about a harsh braking “incident” (as they called it ffs) I would ask them if they’d rather I hadn’t braked.
