Palo Alto,CAL,USA -The Car Connection, by Richard Read -Mar 20, 2012: -- If your daily commute involves a toll bridge or highway, you may already be familiar with cameras that read license plates to extract turnpike fees. Now, the British government is exploring ways to use similar devices to keep uninsured motorists off the roads -- by preventing them from filling up in the first place... According to a report in the Mirror, officials in the U.K. are looking at high-tech cameras as a way to reduce the number of uninsured motorists. Such cameras are already installed at gas stations across the country, where they use number plate recognition software to scan and record the license plates of cars who pull in to fill up... If a plate isn't registered to someone with adequate insurance, the motorist wouldn't be allowed to gas up...Labels: intelligence in transport
