The industry built up around cars and the government itself make too much money to want to stop people driving completely. Road tax, fuel duty, insurance, MOT and servicing costs. And remember, all of the car makers, dealerships used car salesmen and insurance companies all pay vast amounts of tax to the government on their slice of the car pie. Add to this list everyone who has to commute to work and then pays massive amounts of tax and national insurance to the government on what they earn.

@@GT380man The problem having worked in the motor trade, is general apathy of the average car buyer nowadays, who has no interest in cars or driving they only have a car because it's a convivence, thats why you find a lot of new cars sold are little shopping trollies, that you find driving down 50 mph limit roads at 35mph, or sat in the middle lane on motorways at 45mph, what needs to happen is proper driver education, not just taught how to pass a test.

My new Mazda I’ve had for 5 weeks is fitted with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA). Driving on a 60mph road and getting continuous audio chimes because the system has picked a 20mph sign on a side road is a major distraction. I turn off my audio warning all the time as identifying the wrong speed limit sign or failing to pick up the correct limit happens regularly. The Mazda manual encourages you not to turn off the speed audio warnings as it turns off all the other audio warnings. Unfortunately you have too as it regularly identifies the wrong limit. If cars were forced to slow down I can see accidents happening and a lot of road rage.

The speed sign wasn't blue by any chance was it?

we have van trackers at work - they always report if speeding - yet its amazing how many times they are on the motorway and the trackers state the speed limit should be 40mph because it thinks they are on a main road next to the motorway. Imagine if your car dramatically slows to 40mph while in traffic doing 70mph in the fast lane

Governments don't care about your safety. It's all about control

What happens when the sat-nav system is not informed or not updated quickly enough about road works on motorways? I have a sat-nav that the last time I used a certain motorway, still showed a 50mph speed restricted section of roadworks and returned to 70mph years ago.

It will be interesting to see if they attempt to roll this out for motorcycles eventually, despite the technology being tested by MIRA about 15 years ago and deemed impossible to do safely. Due to the complex dynamics at play when riding a motorcycle, even a momentary interruption in power at the wrong time would be disastrous while cornering. Imagine being banked over at 50mph - then the ISA misreads the road at 30?

Whether in School zones or country roads mad drivers speed to overtake, driving oncoming traffic off the road, race track is safer.

Fully automated speed limiters based on current technology are dangerous. Not a mile from my house there is a bypass rated at 60 mph. However, as I approach the bypass 9, times of 10, my car fails to report the change in speed so I get an alarm telling me I am exceeding 30 mph when I am actually doing 40 in a 60. Where this gets dangerous is when roads of different speeds pass over each other such as the A46 East of Bath. The road is a 50 mph limit but as the A46 passes under the A46, which is a 30 mph junction, the system gets confused. For a short distance my car is confused and reports it should be doing 30 whilst in a 50. If the brakes were applied automatically, the sudden braking for no apparent reason would at some point result in me getting rear-ended.

I had a conversation with our local Kia/Mazda dealership over a year ago regarding this initiative. He at that time denied any knowledge of this. Then had a conversation last week regarding our next car on PCP. We said no chance because of this new initiative. He said “oh” 😂

What you've got here is a combination of two things; 1) Drivers just will not obey the limit unless someone is forcing them to, and 2) The campaign by some that limits should be 10mph under what you intend because people will always exceed it. It sucks, but it was inevitable.

The number of vehicles that speed without a second thought, are faced with an inbuilt restriction. If it saves lives and reduces accidents well and good, the jury is out. Adjust, society has wider and deeper needs.

Wake up and realise that we are paying for and sleepwalking into our own slaughter. Wake up and stop thinking that this dystopian crap is anything helpful or useful because it's only useful to the globalists and of no use to you.

Very informative. Many thanks

if nobody buys new cars they will have a problem

If you turn off the limiter you may also find your insurance refuse to pay as you have turned off a safety device

The problem/issue here is not the speed. It's the control they will have. A mechanism that auto correct the speed is a wonderful idea. However, if they use the same mechanism to control whether you are allowed to drive on a particular day then that's the issue that concerns me

I've been driving for over 25 years and had not a single accident I will admit the standards of driving in the UK has fallen dramatically but I don't need another big brother system on my car telling me what to do I've developed my skills for over 25 years and started driving when there were no such systems like abs or stability control if we give drivers too much automation they stop driving the vehicle on a daily drive the amount of people I see doing several other things other than driving the car is common also a lot of driving instructors I see making simple mistakes whilst teaching their students is another potential problem I drive an older car so this probably won't apply to me.

I've had one for four years now, it's great! You can turn them off! Great for average speed camera zones. A bit like the anti -khan stuff. The massive rises in car insurance is a much bigger issue

Enjoy version 2 which you cannot turn off or override.

@@ireallylovegod You can turn them off, don't believe the bs

Could you imagine overtaking a car on a 60mph zone and the car you are overtaking is doing 55mph and you indicate and pull out and hit the limiter and has a head on because you could not hit the gas to complete the gas. Will the police have the ability to cut the power of your car remotely? I got driven off the road by a lorry once and I did not have enough power to fully overtake on a dual carriageway. I do not want to work out what buttons to press when in an emergency. I do not believe in FSD and lane assist. GPS signals are worse in Cities with a lot of high rise buildings. The people surveyed are probably the same people that the give way to pedestrians on into junctions. The most annoying road is the A40 is the London 30mph on the average speed limit zone with 3 lanes available. Does it also account for roadworks and smart motorways, people will have to use their brains - that is never good (See UK elections where they were all of automatic self driving mode off a cliff) I do not have an issue with this as I am always falling into 60-50 or 30 zones without knowing, I do not agree with tracking and this will tracking and the automatic guilt through driver telemetry. New EV and new gas cars are just expensive 10 year IOT disposable devices on wheels, could you imagine getting a new screen for your 20 year old EV? There are too many bespoke screens and the cybersecurity on these IOT devices after 10 years will be a dangerous nightmare for software updates. Will netflix/Disney+/KZread work on these infotainment systems.

In the Netherlands the roads are used to the max. Every day you have traffic jams at the same locations. Mainly because nobody keeps a gap in between them and the one in front of them. If people would keep open a gap wide enough to fit in 2 or maybe 3 lorries, 18 wheeler length kinda lorries, traffic would keep flowing. BUT, people also have to adjust their speed to the speed of the lorry. And so: IF everyone were to drive the same speed as lorries, and we would all keep open a gap in front of us so people can merge onto the motor way or get off of it, then it would all keep flowing nicely. In the Netherlands the distances to travel are not that much. If you want to travel from the most north-western point to the most south-eastern point, its like say 300 kilometers? Maybe a bit more. If you travel with 100 kilometers an hour and could have that as an average speed, it would take 3 hours. BUT there is no way to travel the entire distance with an average of 100 kilometers per hour. If you were to travel with 80 kilometers per hour, it would take you roughly 3.75 hours. That is again if you could travel with a certain average speed. Nonsense. Me and several co workers have put money on it several times. They start their journey going as fast as the lorry allows.... 83 kilometers per hour. And me, i just put it on 80. I arrive at my destination 2 to 3 minutes later than they did. Lorry drivers who overtake with just 1 kilometer an hour difference, in the Netherlands, they are just crazy. It only wins them what? 1 minute? 2? Or, they jump the queue. They want to be in front of you to unload or load. Sad people, really. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but not many old bold pilots around. Same goes for the people on the roads. Most who drive like crazy win the Darwin Award. Sometimes taking innocent people with them to Saint Petrus. Personally i think we are on the roads to try to get from A to B safely. And speed? The difference between traveling at 80 kilometer an hour or 100 is not worth mentioning when the distances we travel is short. Lorries travel longer distances than most people in their car. Most people in their car go from their home to work and back, and to the store and back. What kinda distance is that? Does it really help to travel at max speed for to get from a to b if b is only 5 kilometers away from you>? You win what? 3 seconds? And the same for lorries: if the distance is 300 kilometers, and the lorry in front of you can only go 83 kilometer an hour..... but yours can go 84 kilometers an hour.....Those who overtake with such a small difference in top speed are lunatics.

i totally forgot what this video was about.... Anyway, my opinion on speed limiters: if it will make all the car traffic travel at the same speed or just 1 kilometer per hour faster than the lorries, it will be great. Especially if people learn how to keep open a gap in between them and the one in front. Why would this be great? If all traffic on the motor way is traveling at roughly the same speed, it is like a train. And if people keep their distance, others can merge onto or off the main high way/motor way. It is thanks to these individuals who think they own the road that people get stuck in traffic jams. These individuals who go from left to right, the left lane, the right lane, the middle lane. Where ever they see a gap in a traffic jam, they will put their car into the gap. And then they brake. And then they make sure the entire lane is stopped again.

classic car prices will rocket

I think they are a great idea apart from on trunk roads. Look at the delays trucks cause because of speed limiters on Motorways.

Been on the cards for years, that is why they tried bring in a law to stop you altering your vehicle prior to this.

I remember Nissan gtr being limited to 115mph unless you're on a track. It'd be interesting to see what percentage of those cars on the road still have that working.

As I recall "all" JDM cars were speed limited from new, because I bought a JDM import in the 90's and the limiter had been programmed out, so I suspect it'll happen to new cars sold now at some point. 🤞🤞🤞

The time has come when an emergency vehicle can be held up by 3 vehicles ( one in each lane ) each overtaking each other with a 0.05MPH speed difference.. Just like two trucks running side by side, now it's possible to have 3 cars ( or vans , or combination) each overtaking, running together for miles, miles, & miles, because there is just a slight speed difference between them.. Fantastic ( what fruit cake thought of this ) 🤔

It's not about saving lives. It's just another way of collecting yet more money through the motorist. It will be just like the emissions. Up will go insurance on non compliant older vehicles, until they are priced off the road. Meanwhile, I would not be surprised if you turn the system off and then proceed to have an accident, your insurance will be void. There will be fines galore, and only the government wins. I'm keeping my current car till its either priced from the road or scrap. I'm 65 and retired. If I fail to get another 10 years from the system I shall either cycle, use taxis or walk. They are all ugly looking over bloated tin cans anyway, and I doubt if my garage will even continue to accommodate these massive ugly things. There is not even a wide choice of colours anymore, a local dealership by me sells 80% black dark grey or silver.. They have no styling or individuality at all. It's over, folks.

I have this system on my 2 yr old car but permanently switched to just flash a speed limit sign on the dash , problem is that it is consistently wrong , journey through mid wales the car insisting it was 20mph for 20 miles of 60 mph road after we left a village . Randomly reading speed limits from side roads and the back of european lorries , if the new systems are not better then cars randomly slowing down will be interesting for following cars. This has been mandated by the eu , manufacturers have to fit them or cannot sell cars in europe .

Speed also equals noise from silly exhausts tyre noise etc .the people who live on these roads will benefit .it's not all about the road user it's about everyone.

I have no problem with speed limiters, but I do have a problem with councils lowering the speed limit, heck why aren’t cars limited to 85 max in the U.K. now is beyond me

Good job it's only Mandatory & Not Compulsory.

It's about time something like this has kicked in... Thankfully now the tech has gotten to a point at which this can now finally be implemented. I actually don't agree that 'speed kills' (as such) I feel that the sort of driver that does habitually speed is more likely to get into an accident FULL STOP! Reckless attitude towards safety. I resent the notion that the speed limit 'changes' if it's 3am... (roads empty) Does anybody see any small print below a speed sign that says (unless it's early hours on a Sunday)? I personally don't own any roads myself, we agree the moment that we pass our tests to abide by the law... call it 'terms and conditions' if you will... Flout the law, driving privileges removed (and driving is a privilege, not a right) . I must remember to tell that drunk guy that stumbles into the road from between 2 parked cars at 2am that i'm sorry i killed him because i was doing 43 in a 30, but it was quiet out so i didn't expect him to fall into the road in front of me.

And thats why I still live in Africa

Much more efficient than putting speedbumps everywhere. The system is designed to help people who ignore all speed limitations, but they can switch it off, well perhaps not if they are too drunk. It is an EU requirement, so better have it in your car when you cross the channel ?

Autobahn? Why do people think speed kills, it's crap drivers

So where will they get the money to replace all the speeding fines?

Pointless buying a high speed super car now, so that's Aston Martin closing down then, not if they could do something about people riding push bikes on the pavements?

Their will always be ways around this sort of technology, don’t worry folks!!

I'll see what happens when I pick up my new 74plate Abarth 695 Competizione in 3 months!! I'll let you know!

Id much rather have it similar to cruise control where I can choose to activate it and have it deactivate whenever I use the brake or accelerator. Either I'm in control of my car or I'm not.

It's not about safety, it's all about control

Bloody interfering EU, they need to do one...

Dont believe people want this at all unless they're non drivers. Looks like one daren't get old or have a health problems, daren't try to work out how many hours/days i've waited for buses yet so worried about ill health and then unable to walk far. Tfl is crap and i for one refuse to use it!! Even kh.nt wont wait for a bus!

I have used speed loiters for over 20 years and if everyone did then there would be no speeding fines and if there was a massive overload of the legal system could result for to the fact that the legal process would have to be exhausted each time to find the cause and determine the liable party or parties.

Problem is that EV drivers aren’t quite going slow enough - in an attempt to increase range - to annoy the ICE and truck drivers. Speed limiters will ensure everyone else has to follow at 20 mph in the ever increasing zones… It’s all about control! Interestingly, my sat-nav frequently shows a 30 mph limit on major roads where no such limit exists, most recently on the A9. Not sure how popular I would have been if I’d no option other than to drive at 30 mph in a 60 mph limit!!

If they force you to follow the speed limit, they will lose out on all that revenue. Do you really think governments want to lose all that revenue

So to work it requires a camera and GPS. Therefore, the question is if you disable both of these physically does the car still work?

Side questions, mainly based on say 10 yrs time when its fully mandatory and active Who controls the speed limit data supplied to the gps, and what would happen if that were to change to zero mph. Will speed sign recognition override the gps speed data for cases of "temporary road works" signs, and would that mean the police ( or in fact anyone) be able to use a speed limit sign to slow or even stop a vehicle?

I ride a Kawasaki ZZR1441. I cannot understand why we need to be limited in speed. I never break the speed limits on it. I never broke the limit on any of the 6 Hayabusa I have previously owned either.

That's not about saving lives. It's all about control. Once most cars have such tech they will lower the limits and use it to fine drivers. It will be used to punish people.

It's the end of individual choice in your car. No more sports cars ect. This could the beginning of the conveyance. Add self driving abilities to the speed limiters, maybe even the beginning of the end to car ownership, add an uber app and pay by mile .. it's possible, just think about it how many cars do you see driving around with only one occupant? Enforced car share?

The system should be under the control of the driver. Able to decide how much the system doesn't at anyone time. Eg assistant designed around the human. Not trying to design the human out of the loop. Those who know how. How to program the system off. The Citroen of override button is good.
