Default Dragy question - use as an abuse tracker?

My DD is going to be used by someone else for about 4 hours next week. Can I use a Dragy to tell if the car was abused in anyway while this person is driving my car?

I was going to get a Dragy sooner or later but this might make it sooner.

If you have that much concern about this person, just tell them to take an Uber :-)

It looks like the Dragy is a performance tool. I'm not familiar with it but also saw it only has a 10 hour battery life. I would think something more along the lines of what companies use to track their fleets would be better. Where the vehicle is and its speed in real time.

It's an unavoidable 'valet' situation. Either that or I burn 3 hours of my own time.

The work that I do (a portion of it) involves oversight and behavioral modification / gamification of fleet drivers. 1000s of them.

You'd be amazed how badly a certain % of people treat vehicles that aren't their own. Even when they know they are being tracked.

Pull a DME report the morning before you turn it over then another when you get it back and compare overrevs. Of course that won't tell you everything, but might tell you something about how hard they were wringing it out or if they missed a shift (if a manual).
