EV Charging Stations (CS)
I did have problems with the TrueMoney FaceScan verification process....that is, matching a face scan to your passport picture. I first started the process on a Monday. Tried multiple scans and just couldn't pass the face scan match to passport picture. I hear it's a common problem with us "hansum" guys. 😜 Anyway, after trying multiple times the TrueMoney app would not allow any more face scan attempts....apparently I had been locked out from more face scan attempts due to too many failed attempts. I called TrueMoney Customer Service...explained the problem...the rep said he would send me an email with instructions and I would get a response within 3 business days of providing the info. The email arrived within a minute or so asking for a description of the problem, phone brand/model, operating system, and copy of main passport page. I emailed the requested info. Come Wed afternoon still no response...I still couldn't use the app to attempt more face scans...I called TrueMoney...the rep said he will follow-up regarding status of my earlier request. Come Thursday still no response and app still will not allow any more face scan. Come Friday mid day still no response but before calling customer service again I checked to see if I was still locked out from attempting more face scans....and I was "not" locked out. So, I attempted a verification face scan again...and this time I guess the room lightning was just right....a little darker than when I tried on Monday and I was able to pass the verification process. The app now said my registration is under review and I will get a response "by SMS" within 8 business hours normally but no more than 3 business days. Come Saturday morning I got the approval SMS. I logged on to the app, setup my PIN, and activated the TrueMoney SME virtual credit card and the regular TrueMoney virtual credit card. In fact, when I was activating the cards which only requires you to enter your first and last name I didn't notice there were actually "two" cards I could activate....I was expecting only one. I first activated the SME card and when the app screen refreshed I looked like the activation had not worked but what had actually happened was the activation had successfully occurred and now the screen being shown was for activation of my "other" credit card and this made me think the card activation had failed. For the second card I entered by first and last name and I now have "two" virutal credit card numbers. Yea, I was kinda lost and bumping into things while I was activating those two cards....all the initial and various options in the TrueMoney app can initially be overwhelming/some what confusing....but after a little study it started making sense. Yea, with today/11 Aug being a holiday for many and tomorrow/12 Aug being a national holiday (Mothers Day) you might not get final approval for a few days. I should have activated a TrueMoney account years and years ago the more I think about it as there are many apps/online stores/physical stores/etc., that accept TrueMoney as payment via direct debit from your TrueMoney ewallet or use of a TrueMoney virtual credit card. Maybe Elexa did me a favor by changing their policy to only accepting "Thai credit cards" which pushed me to opening a TrueMoney acct. I'm may just start using my TrueMoney acct/virtual credit card as the "default" payment method in all the charging apps that accept TrueMoney simply because I can turn off and on the TrueMoney card very quickly without needing to do facescan like if I was turning on my Thai bank debit card for online purchases because it's not uncommon to have to do multiple face scans to satisfy the Thai bank app....it's just picky sometimes when doing face scans. And I also use one of my foreign credit cards as a payment option like in the PTT charging app but I also turn the card on and off for online purchases by using the app for my foreign bank. Ever since that fraudulent transaction I figure the scammer probably hacked one of the charging networks because that's the only place I had my Thai debit card info loaded and I do not use my debit card for in store purchases. A few months ago my Thai bank debit card was used fraudulently for an online Spotify monthly payment of a little over Bt200....don't know how the scammer got my debit card info, but I figure (guess) it was from one of several charging apps where I had my Thai bank debit card loaded in the payment profile (i.e., info got hacked from the charging app network). I have only used my Thai bank debit card info in these charging apps; having used it in any other online sites/purchases and I never use the debit card for in-store purchases. The Thai bank refund the fraudulent transaction within a week and I got a new debit card. I reloaded that new card info in the charging app payment profiles. Ever since then I use mbanking to only turn on the debit card just before doing an online transaction (like paying for a charging session) and then right after completing the transaction I turn off the card. If I switch to using TrueMoney where ever allowed I can deleted my other bank cards from those charging apps which should prevent any hackers from getting the card info again. I'll just keep enough money (a low balance) in my TrueMoney ewallet to cover charging costs...plus it's very easy and fast to top-up your TrueMoney ewallet. -

Over-70s face driving ban in UK
Motorists over 70 could be banned from the roads if they fail compulsory eye tests under a radical shake-up of driving laws in Great Britain. Plans also include reducing the drink-driving limit in both England and Wales to be in line with Scotland's laws, and giving people points on their licence for not wearing a seatbelt. The move comes after an inquest into four deaths caused by drivers with failing eyesight saw a coroner call the UK's licensing system the "laxest in Europe". The changes are expected to be included in a new road safety strategy set to be published by the government in the autumn, with ministers believing that the current safety messaging is not working. "In no other circumstance would we accept 1,600 people dying [on the roads each year], with thousands more seriously injured, costing the NHS more than £2bn per year," a government source told the BBC. "This Labour government will deliver the first Road Safety Strategy in a decade, imposing tougher penalties on those breaking the law, protecting road users and restoring order to our roads," the source added. In April, HM Senior Coroner for Lancashire Dr James Adeley sent a report to Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander to say action should be taken to prevent future deaths, after he found enforcement of visual legal standards for drivers was unsafe. Following the inquest, a source close to the transport secretary told the BBC the government accepted that the rules "need to be reassessed". The UK is one of only three European countries to rely on self-reporting of visual conditions affecting the ability to drive. Now, a new requirement being prepared by the transport secretary could make eye tests for the over-70s compulsory when they renew their driving licence every three years. However, Peter Browne, 73, from Great Yarmouth, told the BBC that he has tried to get an appointment to get his sight checked but is unable to get one. He says he has glaucoma and has reported it to the DVLA but that he has not stopped driving. "I'm quite frustrated," he said. "If it was found that my eyesight was not of sufficient level to drive, would it be my fault or the NHS for not being able to give me an appointment?" Edmund King, president of AA, defended drivers like Peter over the age of 70, saying they "are still relatively safe" - although acknowledged bringing in a compulsory eye test was "a small price to pay" for safety. "When you look at road deaths the big peaks are with young, new drivers and then older drivers - although older drivers it does tend to be those over 80 and 85," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme. Quoting statistics from road safety charity Brake, Mr King added that "one in five young drivers crash in their first year" and over "1,500 young drivers are killed or are seriously injured each year". Drink-driving limit Also under consideration by the government are potential medical tests for conditions like dementia, and stricter rules for drink-driving. Under the new plans, first reported in the Times, the drink-drive limit is expected to be tightened from 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath to 22 micrograms. This would match limits already set for Scotland, which were lowered in December 2014 following an independent review of Drink and Drug Driving Law. Despite the lower limit, the Institute of Alcohol Studies found it "had no impact on any type of road accident, from fatal crashes to collisions". It did, however, find the reform led to a greater anti-drink driving sentiment among the public. According to government figures from late last year, there had been "a catastrophic rise" in deaths caused solely by alcohol in England over the past four years. Other proposals include police being allowed to rely on roadside saliva tests for evidence of drug-driving rather than blood tests, making it easier to prosecute suspects. Depending on the specifics of each policy area and devolution agreements in place, these changes, if passed, may apply to all of Great Britain or to just England and Wales or only to England. Justice minister, Alex Davies-Jones, told BBC Breakfast that this was the biggest shake up to the UK's driving laws "for decades", but stressed that the proposed changes remain part of a consultation process. She also reiterated that the government is not currently looking at the introduction of graduated licenses for young drivers - something many bereaved parents have called for - saying that it could potentially "over-target younger drivers and unfairly discriminate against them". The government "will keep everything under review", she added. 'Ineffective, unsafe and unfit' Earlier this year, coroner Dr Adeley criticised the current system for enforcing visual legal standards as "ineffective, unsafe and unfit" to meet the needs of society. He made the remarks at the inquests of Marie Cunningham, 79, Grace Foulds, 85, Peter Westwell, 80, and Anne Ferguson, 75, at Preston Coroner's Court - all of whom were killed by pensioners. Current rules mean everyone aged over 70 must renew their driving licence, and update their photograph, every three years. When you renew, the government says you must tell the DVLA if you have a problem with your eyesight - although this does not include being short-sighted, long-sighted or colour blind. Rob Heard, founder of Older Drivers Forum and an ex-roads policing officer said he had attended over 300 fatalities in his career and had witnessed first-hand the ripple-effect these accidents have on so many people. "All of the new recommendations that are coming out are good," he said, adding that he supports "compulsory eye sight testing for all ages." Kay Hine, 75, in Perthshire used to have an opticians practice and agrees that everyone, regardless of age, should ensure their eyesight is at the right standard for driving. "It's imperative that people prove that can see," she said. "Everyone who drives should hold a 'proof of eyesight standard' or 'vision fitness to drive' from a recent eye examination as they do in most European countries." As reported by the BBC -

While Trump fails, Carney outsmarts him once again
Google is yer buddy, yo. Canada imposes high tariffs on U.S. dairy products, which can reach up to 298.5%, but these rates only apply if U.S. exports exceed specific quotas set under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. In practice, these quotas have never been exceeded, so the higher tariffs have not been applied. Gosh, what silly goober signed that treaty? All sides came to a formal agreement on 1 October 2018,[12] and U.S. president Donald Trump proposed USMCA during the G20 Summit the following month, where it was signed by him, Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto, and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.
