High-tech parking pilot a hit with motorists

A NEW high-tech parking disc system launched experimentally in Limerick is proving a big hit with motorists.

Instead of punching holes in sheets of paper, the ParkMagic system is structured on a module the size of a cigarette box which is placed inside the front windscreen. A screen indicates the amount of parking credit held by the motorist.

Credit can be phoned into the unit with the use of a special credit card or by using an account number which can be opened with ParkMagic.
