Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - Flofocus - 09-05-2008 This will ruin track days forever :( http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/P...&Mode=1&File=24 Quote:" BILL C-568 Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - NikiterZTS - 09-05-2008 omg nooooooooooo so much for legal racing Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - hardk0re - 09-05-2008 hey this is good news...we can blow the doors off any new "muscle car" after this is in effect... I was seriously thinking that cars should actually have this in place. Perhaps some more thought is required, the device should work with GPS and limit the car to 20% over the posted speed limits. Therefore "offroad" would leave you unlimited... or something like that. Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - Flofocus - 09-05-2008 f*** Kevin...How am I supposed to outrun the police when they catch me going 50 over? :ph34r: Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - Flofocus - 09-05-2008 :lol: Why dont they just make it 149km/hr and get rid of the other BS law. :rolleyes: Fawkin politicians :lol: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - CanadaSVT - 09-05-2008 Politicians with nothing better to do. Here's the MP that introduced the bill. I think I'll fire off a free letter to him. http://www2.parl.gc.ca/parlinfo/Files/Parl...9413&Language=E Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - snorcus - 09-05-2008 IT would get rid of street racing but what you do with your car on private property isnt up to the government to regulate. Most tracks are private property so as for track racing, it should still be possible as long as there is a way to dissable these modules.

Perhaps some more thought is required, the device should work with GPS and limit the car to 20% over the posted speed limits. Therefore "offroad" would leave you unlimited... or something like that. Hell, why stop at speed limitations? How about using the information provided by GPS to mail you a ticket for speeding? Or tailgating? Or failing to stop for three seconds at a stop sign? Car rental agencies use GPS to "fine" drivers who exceed the posted limits under the guise of excessive wear and tear (although I believe it's legality is before the US courts right now). You may feel this is a good thing; sorry to disagree with you but I feel this is setting a dangerous precedent. How about toll roads that charge you by the km, then bill your credit card automatically? GPS is a great tool for it's intended purpose-navigation. But to allow the government to use it to govern our actions? No thanks!

Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - mo_focus - 09-05-2008 I'm sure someone will find a way to bypass this soon enough :) its just another chip that needs to be added to GPS or the car computer :) Freaking gov officials, they should go and regulate gas prices isntead of this BS! Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - snorcus - 09-05-2008 From what im being told by some local truckers is that alot of company trucks already have a limmiter and they are ususally set between 100-105 . Thats why when you see a truck passing another one ont he highway they can sometimes take like 5 klm to actually make the pass, its probably bc they cant go any farther. Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - ANTHONYD - 09-05-2008 Soon "the man" will be driving for us. I think it's great. Guys, Talk To Your Mp's - Scorcher000 - 09-05-2008 Some guys I know have there trucks set at 90 so they're idiot drivers stop wrecking everything in site.

GM has been working on that since the 1960's. we already have remote cars, just not on the road to the public for sale yet. As for limiters, we already have them on our cars if you think about it. the Focus is capped at 175-180 km/ph. most German cars are capped at the same speeds if they are build anywhere but Germany, and in Germany all cars are capped at 155 MPH or 260 Km/ph.
