You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutesBut now a high-tech car sticker that’s designed to be stuck to a car’s windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation
   The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman
to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediatelyFrankfurt-based IT consultantDaniel Kalliontziscame up with the idea and is raising money to put his 43 sticker into production
   Car owners can put the sticker inside their car’s windscreen
having set it up with key informationsuch as their phone numberThe slim design will include a sensor(传感器)thatwhen touched by a traffic policemanwill send a text message warning a driver of a possible fineThe driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphonewhich will appear on the sticker’s screen
    The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way
a German lawThe law statesan officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicleIt could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car
    Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way
A spokesman said“In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticketHowevera policeman does have the freedom not to issue a ticket if he doesn’t think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning
   So far
MrKalliontzis has raised just over2,362 of his39,381goalIf he manages to raise the moneythe stickers will be shipped in June 2015But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messagesbecause anyone could touch the smart sticker
