Mandatory speed limiters on EU cars from July 2024 | AutoTrader

All new vehicles sold in Europe – including Northern Ireland but not Great Britain – will be fitted with a mandatory speed limiter from 2024 to keep cars within the speed limits and boost road safety.

Excalty how true this is I don't know but I can see it backfiring dramatically if it does happen.

Another waste of time if it can be overridden.
speed is only one element in fatalities. Lack of skill, training and mentality of the driver is the biggest culprit.
its also making cars more complicated and more things to go wrong.

It's been on the cards for a while and it can be switched off, will only apply to new cars manufactured with that tech installed ..
So best stick with an oldie or good used .

As they say, it's not the car , it's the driver .

Just another example of big brother taking control.
Farting will be monitored next in case we are creating too much air pollution.

Well judging by all the fairly recent hype about cattle emmissions, they've obviously been out monitoring. If you think about it, if the vegetablists had their way, all these polluting cattle would be allowed to roam free and breed like rabbits, thus causing even more pollution. Solution - eat more steak
