"By 2004, the DVLA aims to have merged driver, vehicle and insurance records into a "single or virtually single" database from which the number-plate microchips will be programmed". http://www.geocities.com/lclane2/microchips.html Anyone have any updates on how this plan is getting along? I would guess that this has been consigned to the bin, as numberplate recognition cameras have proved succesfull and are likely to be more useful than transponders. As said in another part of the thread, the transponders would work much like the product identifying labels in supermarkets and id chips inserted into pets. To read them you need to be in reasonable proximity to the device - so a scanner on a set of barriers that a car passes thru (like a toll gate) would work well, but scanning a vehicle from a motorway bridge would be next to impossible. Automatic plate reading linked to DVLA computers is effective and can be used over a much greater range, the police are using it every day of the week up here in Wolverhampton. |

Because the device reading the microchip will not detect its existence in the plate. Simple - if it ain't there, then it is fake! From the transponder reader's pov, what's the difference between a car without a transponder and an empty space without a transponder? Mass? Temerature? Capacitance? Radar cross-section? And as for actions taken on detecting an untagged or illegal vehicle: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m93.htm tom -- the ****ing Blues Brothers guys and razors and swordfight on top of a truck and Memento Babe flying through the air and out of nowhere Neo and I am out!!of!!cum!! 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 |

Clive Coleman ) gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying : That'll be why the government can't stop Citroen from fitting asbestos brake pads then. I'm sorry? a. Citroen don't make brake pads. b. Citroen brake pads don't differ from Peugeot brake bads. c. Asbestos brake pads haven't been manufactured for years. For any manufacturer. OEM or pattern. d. That's nothing to do with the UK government anyway. Type approval's EU wide. |
