Speed limiters

Whippy · Yesterday, 21:03

"From 7th July 2024 onwards, all car manufacturers will be legally required to ensure any cars on sale in their showrooms have speed limiters fitted. This means that any showroom cars without speed limiters will need to have the technology retrofitted."

The end is nigh.

Or registered before then to make them a secondhand car!

What's the limit? Is it far enough the national speed limit so as not to introduce a safety risk?

Naah, should be set at 66mph, after all trucks have been limited to 56 for years despite their national limit being 60

It's good to know that people who're happy to make road-travel more dangerous are enforcing changes in the name of safety!

Drivers will be able to turn ISA off, although it’ll be reactivated when the car is restarted.

Two buttons to turn off every time you start the car then. Auto start/stop, then ISA!

For now, but the plan is to make it enforceable. Next comes road pricing. Yay! It's the future! I also read that ford has said they will be shipping far fewer ice cars to Europe to avoid paying eco penalties. That's not a good look.
