Motorists are advised to display their names and contact telephone number on the windscreen to identify the vehicles clearly, the Police Spokesman SP Ruwan Gunasekera said.

He said that too many telephone calls had been received by the Police regarding unidentified vehicles parked on waysides.

He said that to avoid such misleading information, vehicle drives were advised to past their name and telephone number clearly.

“With the telephone number and the name Police can identify the real owner of the vehicle without wasting valuable time,” he said.

He also advised motorists not to park their vehicles on the roadsides carelessly. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

    Should have been all computerised by now!

    The SL Traffic Police, like all other Police Officers in other countries should be equipped with direct information via mobile data to RMV for checking the status of driving license and vehicles. This is basic. Making people write names and numbers on their vehicles is primitive

    Until we adopt state of the art technology at least this move will help avoid a lot of confusion and panic.

    Name isn't required as it appears in the license. At least two numbers should be displayed for reference. The owner may have to keep the mobile switched off in certain places.

    It may also give a trigger to blast the bomb ! The call will ring the phone inside of vehicle and can trigger the bomb when police call... think before you implement.
