An electronic driving licence is also the ignition key to your car. The system is called the "KitteLock-system" and it will make it impossible to start your car if you do not have a valid driving licence. Your car will be theftproof and the system will also prevent a drunken person to start a car if he has earlier been sentenced for drunken driving and have had his licence suspended. The electronic driving licence system will be a problem for car thieves, make life easier for the police and, most important, make the traffic safer while it will keep unlicenced drivers off the roads. In addition to the normal driving licence information the advanced computer chip hidden in the licence may also contain medical information (on a voluntary basis) which is important for medical personnel to know if the holder has been injured in a car accident. It might also be useful with name and address of the personal doctor and relatives to be contacted.
