A base unit installed in a vehicle including a vehicle communication module for communicating with a controller, the controller monitoring at least one operating parameter of the vehicle. The base unit also includes a transceiver and a processor configured to receive the at least one operating parameter of the vehicle from the vehicle communication module. A memory device stores a first threshold of the vehicle operating parameter associated with a first vehicle operator, and stores a second threshold of the vehicle operating parameter associated with a second vehicle operator. The second threshold is greater than the first threshold. The processor is configured to determine that a driving event has occurred when first threshold has been exceeded for the first driver but the second threshold has not been exceeded for the second driver.
