Abstract

During the last seven years an electronic driving licence has been developed. The electronic driving licence (EDL) is based on a smart-card with a sophisticated chip inside. This EDL-card is well suited as an ignition key to the car replacing the regular mechanical key system and wheel lock. If the driving licence simultaneously serves as the ignition key to the car it will prevent unlicenced drivers from having access to cars. Statistics show that 60% of the drunken drivers on the road are repeat offenders and most of them do not have a valid driving licence. It was suspended at the previous drunken driving offence.
