From: msrdude on 29 Dec 2009 01:59 My friend told me about OBD III so i went home and googled OBD III and I was shocked at what read. They are planning to make a so called "Big Brother" where if your check engine light goes on, the police will know. They can pull you over and give you a citation if not fixed. Also i heard it can check where you are and if you are speeding.

I doubt if the police in the U.S. would be very interested in chasing people with illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lights (MIL), A.K.A. check engine lights unless they are desperate for income from tickets. It would be simple enough to let everyone around you know that an MIL illuminated even with an OBD I and OBD II vehicle, and as it is, a vehicle will not pass an emissions test with the MIL on by having and external MIL. In Japan, commercial vehicles have lights on the roof that indicate the vehicle's speed, and it would be easy to implement here if Big Brother wanted to - one light for 30 MPH, 2 for 55, and 3 for 70. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)
From: Mike Hunter on 29 Dec 2009 11:52 Vehicles have had that capability at least since 2000. Eventually, where there are enough of the newer vehicles on the road, there will roadside sensors much like they currently have for trucks at weigh stations where they need not stop, to determine if your vehicle is polluting and you will no longer have required emission inspections. The information is only recorded for around eight to ten seconds. Read you owners manual, that information is in there. If you dive by and the sensor picks up your car as a polluter, you will be sent an order to have your vehicle inspected and repaired within thirty days. If you do not you will be required to send in you license plate until you have the problem corrected.

It is only 20 in Delaware for an "Antique" plate and 25 in Pennsylvania for an "Historic" plate. One can get a "Classic" plate in Pennsylvania after ten years, if it is a "special interest" model that is no longer produced. There are ten year old Corvettes, T-Birds and Cougars running around with "Classic" plates. Use in limited however.
