Very sian to drive nowadays.
Roads crowded, drivers impatient, cut here cut there.

Then build more ERP gantries, until the entire island runs on GPS ERP. You can run but you cannot hide.

how about "you can check out but you cannot leave"... :doh: :doh: :doh:

[hyenergix]

I think there are technical hurdles due to locking of the satellites. Even the commercial GPS for navigation are not that robust at the moment, particularly near tall buildings, below bridges and in tunnels. A GPS unit is also not cheap and prone to failure also. Probably in another 5 years at least.

[charm]

It is so true. Driver these days also speed driving like rushing forever! and if you're driving in the tunnel, hearing those HUGE "vroom vroom VRooom!!!!!' from far in the tunnel scares me too! :scared-5: :scared-5:
