This will take Ages !



Hindustan Times ( 11 Dec ) carries following news report :




“ Haven’t paid traffic fines ? Cops to send challan at your doorstep “




Police to tie-up with postal service, aim to collect fines for 7.5 lakh traffic violations


Summary :


·         The Mumbai traffic police’s SMS challan hit a roadblock as only 50,000 out of the 8 lakh violators have paid the fine since January


·         The glitch forced the police to look for temporary measures – such as sending paper challans to the offender through courier or summon them to chowkies to pay up – before alternative arrangements are made




There is only one “ Alternative Arrangement “ that will work :



·         Perfectly

·         Every time

·         Without human intervention



And the beauty of this alternative is that , the violator will pay the fine , using a Mobile App-cum-Mobile Wallet ( FinePay ? ), within seconds of getting that SMS on his mobile !



How come ?


·         When a driver jumps a red light, Traffic Police SMS ( delivered on FinePay ) will read :



“ If you do not pay up the fine ( using FinePay’s mobile wallet feature ) within next 10 minutes , your


#    car speed will reduce to 5 Km per hour

#    car horn will keep blowing

#    tail lights will keep flashing

#    car A/c will shut down

#    car , itself will get immobilized after 10 minutes !



Everything will return to normal , as soon as you pay up through FinePay


Once you pay up , the server of the Traffic Police will acknowledges the receipt and “ un-lock “ the car engine , so that it will re-start  !



Is  this possible  ?



·         Absolutely ! 


      From Jan 2018 , all cars will be pre-installed with an RFID micro-sensors , for the
      purpose of automatic toll-collection ( without human intervention )


These RFID sensor will be linked to the owner’s Aadhar ID and his Bank Account number , to facilitate automatic deduction of toll


Nothing stops our brilliant IT geeks / engineers , to link-up that RFID sensor with the FinePay mobile app ( through which , the traffic police will deliver the SMS )
