In Brazil, All Vehicles Must Have Radio IDs By 2014

Posted by timothy on from the cross-their-heart-and-hope-to-die dept.

morcego writes "Brazil's National Traffic Council (CNT) published Friday a resolution that institutes the National System of Automatic Vehicle Identification (Siniav). According to the Q&A published (Google translation from Portuguese), only 'visible and public' information will be available (vehicle year or fabrication, make, model, combustible, engine power and license plate number), without any personal information about the owner or registration data. This system will be mandatory for all vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc) and should cost vehicle owners approximately R$5 (less than US$3)."

    If Brazil is part of the western world, so are Gabon, Botswana, Dominica, and Iran. Can't be right...

    Tsk, give an economist a hammer and everything becomes a nail...

    Dude, FYI, western is based on the number of gays in a country; so, the most western country is England, followed closely by Canada and USA (actually, there is a dispute for the second place) and, so that you know, Brazil is on an excellent placing in the Western Countries List (probably around the 7th).

    GDP... Ha! So 2011...
