Look at HS2!

According to this article the limiter thingy may not even be safe to use.https://www.petrolprices.com/news/eu...e-damage-good/

Assuming there is an audible bleep or a dashboard light that appears whilst all this stuff is going on, it makes me wonder if we will have time to actually drive the car without worrying about it.

Most of us who have been driving many years often do so as a 'habit', we are so used to driving. Learning to drive is a totally new experience, with the new technology too it must be a real nightmare to absorb all that is required, I would have thought!

Re: All new cars to have speed limiters from 2022
Large trucks/buses here have 100kph speed limiters and I have driven a few in the past (not sure of the exact law off hand). The accelerator bangs at your foot if you exceed the limit (eg going downhill) but they don't seem to cause the drivers problems. The old furphy of "I need to be able to accelerate out of trouble" doesn't get mentioned much these days.Limiters have been tampered with in the past for example by removing a magnet from the drive shaft but the authorities are wise to that and check (that might be old technology now) however I cannot see any state government being brave enough to interfere in the sacred rights of the holy car owner by attaching limiters to cars here.
