Follow the tail-lights out of the city

[venta]

One of these days I am going to get round to rigging up some LEDs in my rear windscreen so I can spell "BACK OFF" to the person driving way too close behind me.

I hate tailgaters :(

(Today's finally passed me when I was in the middle lane, pulling onto a roundabout to go straight on. He turned right, from the left hand lane, straight across my bows without a signal.)

The main reason it isn't in use is that governments enjoy monitoring their citizens.

I'm not sure that's entirely fair, but certainly it's not in their interests to spend time and money developing ways of tracking speeding etc anonymously when the technology already exists to do it with some bonus infringement of privacy.

It's tolls that I'm referring to with the tracking thing.

I suppose the fairness of my comment depends on the difference in cost of the systems - the technology for both is researched, the question is deploying it.

Perhaps it would be more reasonable for me to say that governments do not enjoy paying to not monitor their citizens.
