      Controlling/directing traffic back in the 80's & 90's in Japan with those giant traffic boards beside freeways is identical to how Google Maps functions today. They both rely on data collection to run smoothly and accurately. Japan used cameras and other means to obtain traffic data while Google simply stalks your every move when location services are turned. Google notices that 80 Google map users are going 35mph on 65mph highway ? Must be a slowdown/accident/congestion. I read an article not long ago about a man in some European country who happened to have and excessive amount of cell phones for whatever reason. Guy decided to turn Google maps on every device, loaded them up into a wheelbarrow and began creating false traffic jams all around his city and causing commuters to sweat LOL

    The door/wing mirror attachment for notices, is such a fantastic idea.
    No risk of anything being removed without causing damage/dedicated cutting equipment.
    UK tickets can be removed/fall away, so the mirror "tie" serves as a very secure mechanism of being noticed.
    It also allows a motorist to pull away in a hurry if needs be, and can't be overlooked quite so easily.

      Yeah. In Sweden we have a tendency to start construction or even just demolish something where construction will eventually happen. Then the workers will leave for an unspecified amount of time and leave the place looking like a dump for up to several years before they start working on it. This happens all the time where I live. One building was demolished to make way for a new apartment building. It only took about five years until they actually built the damned thing.

    Fining drivers bosses is a good idea. In Australia, companies were putting ridiculous time tables for their drivers, where they would have to drive for 20 hrs straight just to make it. They were becoming a real danger to the public. Giving huge fines to drivers alone weren't really working, so they started issuing fines to companies. Which didn't really stop the big corporations. So the government made it so that if a truck is involved in a smash and someone gets hurt/killed. Then the owners and people at the corporations that set that ridiculous schedule will face the same charges as their drivers

      Problem is: Japanese people arent totally assholes like EU or US people are. Went there 4 times by now, never witnessed bad behaviour towards others. Went to London for 2 days, landed, people were already being pricks. Same goes to my home country germany. USA is even worse.

    In the UK if you call the council about a car blocking your drive and you can't get out, you get put on hold for 35mins before being told "Oh sorry it's a Sunday/bank holiday, there's nothing we can do. Have you tried knocking on the neighbours and see if it's anyone's?... No there's no one to ticket it either."

    There are ways around most systems. My former boss needed to park near a courthouse and saw another car there with a fine stuck under the wiper. So he removed it and put it on his own car. When he came out 20 mins later, the other car had another fine stuck under the wiper, so he replaced the one he had earlier removed from it - nasty!!
