I believe this technology is already implemented in Germany for trucks that travel too close to one another.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:British police are developing a new breed of roadside camera to trap tailgating motorists.

keke, now wat day and age liao? camera more likely running on memory card rather than conventional films lah. sides' the camera would likely feature a speed monitor as well to show that the car was tailgating instead of the user being a roadhogger. can easily connect this to over ride the signals when traffic is heavyOriginally posted by gasband:wah then when jam the camera will run out of film damn fast....
but who needs it anyway?
