>Sounds like they tried to solve a simple problem with a complex solution, the tollways in australia have electronic readers and you just stick a little transponder to your windscreen and it beeps as you drive through the toll plaza at 90Km/h - Trucks can use the same technology - Why would the german government try to use satelites to solve a problem that a $30 piece of electronics seems to do a good job with.

A sharp dressed salesman!!!


>In fact I am pretty sure that the reader on my car is made in Germany (the company who makes them at least - they are probably made in china), so surely the technology is available in germany and the rest of europe?

Kind of ironic don't you think? I wonder if that company tried to get the job?
