Government to Trial Car-Tracking Plates

 
 
The Department for Transport is expected to start testing the new plate towards the end of this year
 
 
-- Green light for bigger charge zone
-- AOL Motoring: Value Your Car

Number plates that contain microchips enabling cars to be tracked on the roads are to be tested by the Government and could soon be in use in the UK.

The high-tech plates transmit information such as Vehicle Identification Numbers to data readers placed alongside roads, which can be picked up at any speed and up to 300 feet away.

Making use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, the tagged plate scheme is said to be a massive improvement over cameras that use character recognition and only have a 75 to 90 per cent accuracy rate.

I read a similar artcicle suggesting it was only for motorbikes as no front plate means a specs cam can't read them.

But also did read about a black box fitting that will send an auto fine if breaking speed limit

I wonder how waterproof the black box is? Or how hard it needs to get "knocked"   :twisted:
