And more on cars

Today the Hindu has an article saying that the 'authorities' are considering letting even and odd number plates run on alternate days to reduce congestion. Whoa ! Such revolutionary. I'm all for it, though I'm completely unprepared for it (I'll have to check if my scooter and car have different endings in which case we're sort of saved).

Some prelim possibilities:

-- the proposal is probably DOA as all the powerful people will be against it
-- there will be a mad rush to get a second vehicle. Along with it a thriving business in picking even or odd number plates, fake number plates to alternate on your car etc.
-- should this be applied to just cars or two-wheelers too ?

This will result in people buying
( a ) two cars. With one plate even and the other odd.
( b ) Getting plates with irrational numbers, whose evenness or oddness cannot be decided upon adequately.
