El Cid Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 From July 6, 2022, all newly launched cars will legally have to be fitted with a speed limiter. The European Commission reached a provisional agreement for a driving law change that would see all new vehicles sold in Europe after that date will be fitted with a speed limiter. At least that wont apply to UK motorists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrotequila Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 How would said speed limiter work though? Because the car we have now has a feature on it, referred to as a "speed limiter", so you set it and you can't go over... 70 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My works vehicle has a speed limiter that is set to 60 mph, that speed cannot be exceded. I assume these new cars will be the same @ 70 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_DADDY Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I think it's a daft idea. Out of interest, will new police cars be limited too? Could be interesting if they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A computer linking location (from a GPS) to a database of road speed limits and cameras looking for speed limit signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclecar Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I had better cancel my order for the Lamborghini, then. I think the rev limiter comes in at about 200mph in top.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
