Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Shri Raoteji has a Vision


 
And that vision is to  “ INSTANTLY – AUTOMATICALLY IMMOBILIZE  “ all vehicles whose drivers, are drunk ( see Times of India / 22 March . news report below ) :



“ Alcohol sensors in state-run buses to curb drunk driving ? “


The transport department is exploring a new technology developed by a group of engineering students that prevents a drunk driver from plying a public transport bus.


 The system involves installing an 'alcohol sensor' in the driver's cabin that will automatically stop the engine if it detects that the driver is in an inebriated state.



"We are looking at the feasibility of introducing the technology in state transport buses and other public transport buses," state transport minister Diwakar Raote told media persons after inaugurating a day-long workshop on road safety on Tuesday.


 Stating that drunk driving is a serious, unpardonable offence, he added, "The government will take harsh steps to nab and punish drunk drivers."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But , if Shri Raoteji has his way , he would like to “ INSTANTLY – and  AUTOMATICALLY   IMMOBILIZE “ ( without human intervention / discretion ) , all those vehicles on the roads which :


·         Keep honking / jumping red light signals / obstructing traffic

·         keep cutting lanes / overtake wrongly / violate speed limits

·         park in “ No Parking “ zones or on footpaths or double parking

·         hit other vehicles or pedestrians ( exceed “ XYZ “ number of accidents “ )

·         belch smoke / have noisy exhausts ( exceed pollution limits of any type )

·         driven by drivers without valid driving license / by under-aged persons


·         driven wrong way in “ One Way “ lanes

·         are “ older “ than 15 years

·         whose REGISTRATIONS have expired / not paid road-tax

which are carrying CONTRABAND drugs





Dear Shri Raoteji :


Your VISION of how transport must run in 2020 , is feasible / doable


Just ask those Engineering Students to take up the challenge and develop the technology-platform conceptualized in my following blogs :
