Malaysia to introduce RFID number plates
teamcar - THE ROAD TRANSPORT Department of Malaysia is set to introduce RFID licence plates in a bid, it says, to stop car thieves thieving cars.
Each plate will contain information about the vehicle and its owner which means that coppers can scan cars at roadblocks and see if the car has been stolen.
Currently your average car tea leaf will swap the licence plate when they nick a motor, however this might not be such a good idea if they have RFID plates.
Not only will the data have to match the plate but the owner of the car should be nearby in case the copper wants to check the driver’s identity.
According to the
New Straits Times, the system will be implemented next year in stages with new cars being the first to sport them followed by older vehicles.
