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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

and many have eliminated the limiter, so what would be the point of this Bill?
