Police investigations into automobile accidents are very time consuming and often are subject to a certain amount of speculation. Even if there are witnesses, those accounts can differ significantly. This is all the more reason that GPS Tracking devices should be installed into your vehicles. Providing verification services is one small, but important part that these units can have during your travels. Here are the important ways that they can help you:
Verifying Location
Were you where you said that you were? Do you remember the details of your accident? Most people’s minds black out the actual events of an accident. The chances of you remembering the exact location of your car is very low. GPS Tracking can provide that information to within a few feet. This accuracy can mean the difference between liability on your part or on the part of another driver.
Verifying Speed
How fast were you traveling at the time of the incident? GPS Tracking knows and will tell you. Your speed is recorded as a standard part of real-time tracking events. This can help you avoid a ticket for a moving violation.
Verifying Direction of Travel
Where was your vehicle headed at the time of the accident? GPS Tracking reveals this information. Combining this information with your own account of the incident puts the issue to rest for good. Pinpoint locates helps police with accurate reporting.
Verifying Evidence
When police write up a report, it usually says that the ‘evidence shows’ or some such statement. And, if there are any witnesses, they can have differing stories as to what they saw. It is a very subjective process that needs more than conjecture and speculation. GPS Tracking devices answer critical questions that make guesses go away. When it comes time to assess blame so that the proper insurance company is contacted for coverage, using GPS Tracking is a must.
In accidents where there is a fatality, the utmost care must be given to make sure that an accurate report of what happened is as factual as possible. That can make the difference in knowing what happened so that family members can get closure and the answers that they crave. Then the ‘how did this happen’ goes away and the ‘why’ questions can be examined.
It’s a painful process but it is one that can be made better with GPS Tracking. Install one today into your vehicles and have a better verification process at your fingertips for accident investigators and create peace of mind knowing that you have the facts to recreate an incident and come to a logical conclusion of events in time of crisis. Although it is tough, knowing, makes things seem better somehow.
