Australia: Electronic Tagging Of Motorcycles Coming?
Australia, like many other countries, face the problem on how to fine motorcycle riders who are speeding. Traditional fixed radars usually don't work, since they take their expensive photos from the front, and as we all know by now, in most countries motorcycles don't have front license plates.
The Aussies in Queensland have spent A$420,000 (US$362,000) so far trying to design a front registration plate (note: that's a lot of money to design a front license plate. I presume most of the money went to lunches, dinners and hor hotels), hoping to recover their investment with those enormous huge fines they planned to levy on bikers. But the money is down the drain, since the Queensland Transport Department dropped the license plate in favor of an electronic system. Motorcycle Riders Association president John Karmouche said the failure to develop a front registration plate was no surprise. "We told them six years ago it wasn't going to work" Mr Karmouche said.
Now they are looking placing a mandatory electronic tagging system, a sort of RFID, on the motorcycles. This way when a motorcycle passes a radar, and the speed is over the limit, it can electronically read the license plate.
Granted, it's not a new idea, authorities around the world have been working that idea of a few years, but all of them dropped it after a while, so there's very little doubt that this idea will be dropped in Australia as well. But in the mean time, they'll spend more than the previous 420K to develop the idea.
