Written by Here we are again with the government harping on about how speed kills – not excessive speeds for the conditions.
In an ideal world, this might possibly work – but we live in a far from ideal world. The proletariat are even less intelligent than they were 20 years ago and if you tell them that the car will limit their speed, they WILL assume it means they can go to sleep.
What all these do-gooders fail to realise is that SPEED DOES NOT KILL. Excessive speed for the conditions can cause an accident that can kill. For example, a satellite monitoring the speed of a car on a motorway will limit the car’s speed to 70mph – but what if there is a 2 inch covering of snow? The satellites won’t take that into account, and as drivers won’t be used to limiting their own speeds, there will be more accidents. Consider hot summer with rain, then we have a shower – the roads will be greasy and far more slippery than drivers are used to, but a windy road in the country will still probably have a limit of 60mph.
If this gets the go-ahead, it will create MORE accidents.
How long will it be until calls are made to have the same limiter – a whole other topic, but bikes frequently have to accelerate out of potential accident scenarios as car drivers don’t see bikers – mainly because they don’t like bikers.
