If this works then this could solve the problem of multi-seater overcharges, over night.

It senses how many punters you actually have, so the thieves, that we all know, won't be able to charge the multi seater rate unless they have sufficient punters.

Think you're wrong. Looking at the specs it says 'detection of front seat passenger', 'detection of rear seat passenger', 'Switch on the taximeter when passenger on board'.

So all it does is detect when someone gets in and switches the meter on automatically, no mention of sensing how many get in.

I'm told it senses the number of punters in respect of a multi-seater tariff.

Otherwise I'm not sure why you would need it.

One of our cars has sensors on all the seats for the seatbelts. I don't suppose it is beyond technology to wire a meter into that circuit at some time in the future.

I think the idea is to start the meter on the correct rate.

It is for vehicles that have a different rate for more than 4 passengers. :roll:

Do you ever read things properly? I said that in one of our cars there is a sensor for each seatbelt. This is obviously triggered when someone occupies the seat. Now the car has 6 passenger seats so I sugested that it shouldn't be to difficult to tap into that system to know how many passengers there were. I was not sugesting using the kit at the top of this thread.

We had them years ago under the seats, when someone sits on one of the seats its activates the meter. You can't clear the meter until they get out.
