I just posted this on the Roadfly Jaguar forum, on which I also correspond (in my other life), so this may constitute spam !.:

And I don't mean dinner plates (with or without spam).

All UK cars may (for may, read WILL), have "active" number plates by 2007.

This means credit card-type technology, which activates transponders at the side of the road, meaning instant readouts of position, insurance, MOT (annual test), etc., speed could be another factor and we are only a very small step away from automatic speed-limited vehicles anyway.

Any views panel? What about in the States? What about in Oz or NZ?

What about my hand-painted/handmade ones/origiinal ones, or will I just stick a chip alongside it?

Barry.
