Tin hat on everyone.
AJ, I've not heard anything about it in ages, and I wouldn't hold my breath.
(http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=625827&postcount=7)From the Indo: New credit card-style driving licences to be introduced from January.
(http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=61576431&postcount=15)It is expected the new EU driving licence will come into effect by 2012 and the driving licences issued by each member state will be phased out by 2032.
(http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=61587822&postcount=23)I got a reply form the RSA which said:
"Thank you for your email- Yes we are about to start work on credit card style licence and have a target of it being in place by 2012. There are
practical aspects of what goes on the card that hasn't been yet decided at EU level. In advance of this decision we can only do so much of the
preparatory work; that journey is about to start.
A 2006 EU directive has already officially formalised the layout and content requirement of the licences. The Directive stipulates that Members States should adopt laws implementing the Directive no later than 19 January 2011. Those laws should take effect in all EU Members States on 19 January 2013.
The RSA are taking over issuing driving licences from 2013 and they will be issuing a new credit card type licence.
the problem i have is what type of information they will put into these new cc type licences! you can bet it will be a lot more that what is on the current paper licence,
which at least you can read for yourself.
well i would be concerned about what information is going to be stored within these cc licences, and whos hands it may fall into!What specifically are you concerned about?
Leo, my understanding of RFID tags is that the scan range is determined by the length of the antenna (usually coiled on or around the tag which is encapsulated in plastic). If they want a 1cm or 50cm read range they can set it so. They power of the scanner doesn't change the read range.
The power of the magnetic field generated by the scanner also plays a part. The antenna will affect sensitivity, but the electricity required to power the tag comes from the scanner.
The antenna is just a coil, applying a magnetic force induces a current. Same principal as in the secondary windings of a transformer (the primary converting electrical current into a magnetic force.)
