QR Codes on number platesAnyone know anything about the new QR codes being printed on number plates? Got a moto registered yesterday and it came with a scannable QR code on the plate, scanning it takes me to a ministry of transport web page showing my vehicle information. When did this start? What is it for? Seems weird and I hadn't heard anything about it.
Re: QR Codes on number platesIt was in the news a while ago, I think it was just ignored as one of those thing that'll never happen, but obviously has.
Re: QR Codes on number platesSame time as the new flimsy licences came in. Supposed to be a way to verify details and prevent counterfeit plates and licences.
Re: QR Codes on number plates
The MoT page that scanning the code takes me to only gives information about the vehicle, not the owner. And the new ownership cards don't have a photo like they used to (though obviously do still have all relevant personal information). I can see how the new system can verify whether the plates are real and on the correct vehicle, but not whether the person driving it is the actual owner.
Re: QR Codes on number plates
That's good, at least stalkers can't track you down by grabbing a pic of your plate. The reg card QR shows owner name and address and is linked to the plate #.
Re: QR Codes on number plates
I hadn't even noticed that there is a QR code on the card too. I see it takes me to the same page as the number plate code, but with the addition of having my name and address.
Re: QR Codes on number platesIt's going to make driving away from the police when you get stopped a bit troublesome if they start scanning your QR code as soon as you pull over.
Re: QR Codes on number platesOnly for those of you whose bikes/cars are registered in your own name at your own address, or have a driving licence.

Re: QR Codes on number platesI never got round to putting plates on my bike bike. After finding out the price was much more for whiteys than locals, I threw a mild strop and was going to get the mrs to do it instead, but put it off, so far no problems, just drive fast at the cops.
1/2 the motos in the provinces are plateless, though not recommended for big city daily driving.
Re: QR Codes on number plates
I would bet money that maybe 5 officers in the whole kingdom have scanners. Oh, wait, we need scanners to read bar codes? How about we make the officers pay for them? Like their uniforms, weapons, petrol? That will encourage them to get one! Trump is a genius!
Re: QR Codes on number platesJust like the time that French NGO donated 5 breathalysers to the Khmer Traffic Police Or the time that they donated a couple of speed guns ... Sent from my SM-G928C using Tapatalk "We, the sons of John Company, have arrived"
Re: QR Codes on number plates
I'd take that bet. All they need is an android phone with a camera, scanning apps are free and exist in Khmer language. All you have to do is take a photo of the QR code and the app takes you directly to wherever the code leads. Literally so simple even a Khmer traffic cop could do it.
Re: QR Codes on number platesAgreed - scan it with ur mobile and it takes u to a govt website
Also your reg card and license qr codes All they need is a cheap smartphone and internet
