    An expert says some high-tech vehicle security is putting lives at ris

    An expert says some high-tech vehicle security is putting lives at ris


    It comes after a New Zealand employer remotely disabled a commercial vehicle,
    while an employee was behind the wheel, with a foot on the accelerator.

    Obsessive Vehicle Security owner Julian Dunster says lots of people ask for
    remote vehicle immobilisation - but can be very risky.

    He says many installers will just put it in if a customer asks for it... but
    he refuses to, as disabling a moving vehicle is very dangerous.
