Sounds like they will be in place by 2010.
Any idea if we will need to get one to use NHS or to get our pensions? What will they be used for?

How many here drive US manufactured vehicles?
Now how many here drive ones made in or since 2004?
Now how many know that US manufactured vehicles since 2004 have an RFID chip fitted to allow the monitoring of vehicular movements when required?
How many on here also know that the US-VISIT project uses RFID to monitor the comings an goings of vehicular and foot passengers across the borders?

If it read faster than actually going then you would never get done for speeding surely?
This was the case on cars until recently - mainly because speedo got more and more inaccurate the faster you went - and as it is illegal (in the UK) to show you going slower than you are - they were all over compensating. My mate still believed his 1986 1.3 cavalier did 130 MPH!! These days they are pretty accurate though - even at high speeds.

But, if you were doing a genuine 80 MPH and the speedo was reading 75 then you could still get a ticket.
