This was touched on I another thread but I felt it deserved one of its own.
From next year, all new cars must be fitted with speed limiters. This was a EU ruling but, despite Brexit, the UK government has chosen to comply anyway. Yeah, so what the feck was the point of Brexit exactly?
Anyway, being the sneaky baskets they are, the limiters will be phased in gradually so people will accept them. At first, they will only ping when you go over the speed limit and you will be able to switch the system off. After a few years, you will not be able to switch it off and I will actually stop you going over the speed limit.
This is going to make driving a miserable experience for many people. What are your thoughts on it? Why is there no campaign to stop it from happening?
So many things you can say about this. Few of them good. Surveys show that the majority do not want this but the government is doing it anyway. Not democracy, dictatorship.
