Safety

Essex Limousine is distinctly proud of its safety record and does everything possible to ensure the safety of all passengers and employees.

We utilize the latest digital technology in vehicle safety including GPS tracking and the DriveCam Video Feedback System.

DriveCam is a Palm sized digital video recorder with 2 lenses, mounted behind the rear view mirror of your vehical. One lens sees a 180-degree view out the front of the car, while the other captures the actions of the driver should there be an event.

Similar to an airplane’s “black box”, DriveCam is constantly on the lookout. DriveCam is programmed to record only when an event is initiated. An event is initiated when the threshold level of G forces on the vehicle has been exceeded. Events can be caused by such actions as hard braking, rapid acceleration, harsh cornering, or by collision.

The initiation of an event causes DriveCam to record everything that it sees, and everything that it hears, during a twenty second interval, commencing ten seconds before the trigger, and lasting through ten seconds after the trigger. In other words, digital technology allows the DriveCam system to reach back in its memory and record what transpired before, during, and after the event was triggered.

Our entire fleet of cameras are closely monitored. Any recorded events that occur are reviewed by our staff and with the Chauffeur involved. Chauffeurs who do not exhibit a history of safe driving habits do not remain part of the Essex team. You can be confident that your Essex Limousine Chauffeur has proven themselves to be safe and responsilbe drivers.
