Speed Limiters in Vehicles

[HHTel]

I know this is about Europe, but can anyone envisage it happening in this part of the world?

Speed limiting technology looks set to become mandatory for all vehicles sold in Europe from 2022, after new rules were provisionally agreed by the EU.

The Department for Transport said the system would also apply in the UK, despite Brexit.

The village mechanics would find a way to circumvent it.

Which is what I’m sure will happen in Europe, by those that will always flout the law.

It does state that you can switch it off, either temporarily in order to overtake or for the trip. It then goes on to say that whether switched off or not, when a vehicle is involved in a road accident, the 'black box recorder' (not a tachograph but more akin to an aircraft recorder) will be witness.

It's so easy to get speeding tickets in Europe now, with cameras everywhere and ever changing limits, that many people I've spoken with welcome this as a way of saving money and your license.

I wonder how this will work in Germany where more than 50% of roads have no speed limit.

That's where it would be good for saving money because on those unlimited roads, when you get near a junction there is a limit and very often cameras.
