高科技贴纸可提醒车主移车

Now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car's windscreen, could help motorists avoid being fine or clamped by allowing a traffic warden to get in touch with them.

近日推出的一款高科技TowStop贴纸可提醒车主移车,让车子逃出警察的“魔掌” 。这款贴纸可贴在挡风玻璃上。

 
The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic warden, to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their car promptly.
 
It's designed to save drivers time and money by giving them a chance to move their car instead of having it towed away but relies on the good will of traffic wardens.
 
Frankfurt-based IT consultant, Daniel Kalliontzis, came up with the idea and is raising funds on Indiegogo to put his €54 sticker into production.
 
Car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car's windscreen, having set it up with vital information, such as their phone number.
 
The slim design will include a sensor that when touched by a traffic warden, will send a text message warning a driver about an imminent fine.
 
The message will ask them to move their car immediately.
 
The driver could then type a reply for the warden using their smartphone, which will appear on the sticker's screen.
 
They may choose to write something along the lines of 'back in two minutes' in a bid to avoid a fine.
