Sms on speed control to be discussed in Parliament

According to Dr Nyeder, the Danish People's Party has asked Justice Minister, Lene Espersen, for a statement on whether it is legal for a company to sell a system which warns motorists, via sms, of police speed controls.

"The company, Speed Control, has 26,300 drivers subscribed to the system, giving the firm an income of 6,5 million kroner.

The national police traffic department is positive, saying that the sms'es make drivers reduce their speed.

However the Danish People's Party has asked the Justice Minister for a list of the pros and cons of such a system and a decision on whether the sms warnings should be made illegal."
