This is either some journo's imagination going wild or some buerocrat out there trying to make quick money (like someone already did via BRT). This solution wont work. Either people will disable the governors or get speed changed. Our cops will take 20 bucks and hoodwink such folks.
Workable solution to improve traffic conditions are
- clean up the RTO's, remove corruption and make sure licenses are given after proper driving tests
- instead of 20 year license, only give 5 year licenses and driver has to come back and reappear for the test.
- embed some kind of chip in every vehicle that will disable the car once its registration expires. also have some kind of communication mechanism embedded in vehicle that can communicate with the nearest RTO. This way RTO can disable any car with a traffic violation, stolen or was involved in crime.
- install speedometers (like used to measure speed of cricket ball) on major roads that can check vehicles speed and report any speeding vehicles to RTO.
Ofcourse this is going to be expensive and needs to be implemented across the coutry together. But this is the price we need to pay to clean up our roads. |
