you get a fine for speeding when your car is restricted and can not speed how do they fine drivers when the cars drive themselves?

They won’t restrict it power until they have fined you. So you get fined for speeding before the car takes over. It’s all to do with climate and control. Speeding fines and fines for going above carbon footprint.

The car isn’t gonna slow down so you don’t get fined where’s the money in that? I know they say it’s for these reasons but if you haven’t woke up to what’s coming then go help you

@@KG-ig1llso it's not about road safty it's about parasiting off PROJECTED wrong doing. People in the EU are so dumb to sell out their nations to a united state like system

@@arcadealchemist Enforce curfews for "security" and energy rationing.

Good! It's therefore a tax on idiocy/selfishness and might save a few lives in the process.

@@leswallace2426 And yet, it didn’t?!

@@leswallace2426 You chose to miss the point and assert your self righteous smugness instead.Bravo!.

It's inappropriate speed that needs addressing, not excessive speed. Going a handful of mph over, the limit, on a deserted road, literally won't kill you,or anyone else----- who isn't there.

I won’t kill you or anyone else but if you go above the limit 3 times in the same road that’s 3 fines through your door and government rubbing there hands 😂 you’ll pay it or the motor will be turned off.

The EU was always about control.

Everything to do with electric cars - preferably self-driven thus all your movement controlled.

@@lumpyfishgravy it wasn't at all. But when you live in ignorance and get your information from right-wing propaganda it's easy to be divorced from reality

Well said.

Smart motorways being the exception, if ever a concept was so wrongly labeled,as to be the opposite of smart..... Cut down the safety refuge area, brilliant!!!!!

good. I don't like living in one big carpark. I don't like living in a world arranged around cars.

@@davidadiwego4608 so you like living in a city and working in an office. Cool some of us are still Human.

@@avancalledrupert5130 I don't work in office and I cycle to work, just like my granddad and most of his peers used too.

@@davidadiwego4608 hmm yea I will put all my tools in a little trailor and cycle to whatever village or town I'm working in that day . So yea you live in a city. Like anyone else in a city your opinion is as shit as your living environment.

Exactly, but the control freaks, like the rubbish this woman is spouting, are in power.

Speed makes driving mistake do more damage.

@ARI Red Steer -- Well, modern car give you a decent chance of surviving in you run into a brick wall at 40 mph. When you go a lot faster you simple accident becomes several accidents sometimes. Personally, I try to drive AT the speed limit except in bad weather.

They are onto that, see covid and bill gates.

That is what abortion is for.

The sheep would all vote in favour. They love their rules.

@@carolramsey6287 exactly. They just brainwash the kids to vote for it

@@carolramsey6287 Not if it’s a referendum?!

@@IRISHSALTMINER61 The government will not allow a referendum on anything unless they are convinced they can get the result they want.

They don’t do voting. They simply say we did a poll and the people are in favour so that means it can pass in parliament. The only one time that didn’t work was mandatory jabs. That was taken down due to backlash.

oh that's you?

I was genuinely gutted to sorn my 18 year old golf a few weeks ago 😭

And I drive a 20 year old Ford. Its a toss-up between what happens first, the car fails an mot abysmally, or I park it up as a big paper weight because the price of fuel is ridiculous, and increasing further still.

Ahem ... Climate change - we will all be dead in 7 years from now (despite the temp not having risen in the last 4 years) unless we stop everyone heating their houses, eating or driving. It MUST be true - they said so explicitly. It won't need a pandemic - other than one of gullibility - It will be mandatory for everyone to buy a car (economy - doh!) but only the elites and those rewarded with special privilige points will be allowed to drive them.

Forshadowing

Yup. Like hitting the rev limiter halfway through an overtake. Very dangerous.

​@@lumpyfishgravy Breaking the speed limit to overtake is already illegal. If you're not speeding, there's no problem

Maybe some are having to drive slower because of the black box.

Every one would be going slow

Usually a Nissan Micra...

You can drive as slow as you want, in the left-hand lane

Depends on whether or not there's car parked or they've squeezed in a bike lane lol

How so?

As a professional driver, I'm all for retesting. It would be a nice money spinner AND driving standards could improve for everyone.

Try 10 years

because this planet can't handle 5 billion individual tons of metal and plastic on four wheels endlessly buzzing around guzzling energy.

@@davidadiwego4608 -- Well, if the rich nations stopped bringing 3rd world folks the population would start going down.

@@GilmerJohn generally, western elderly don't die at a rate greater than western birth rates. This means that below- replacement birth rates can still grow a population, albeit an aging population. That is the big problem with western low birth rates... Not a decline in numbers but rather the disproportional increase in elderly. We can seriously encourage our women folk to breed more (expensive!) plus restrict medical treatment for elders' major health issues so they die off at a more sustainable rate (highly controversial). Or, we can do nothing and turn western society into a real version of Cocoon the movie. Or, we can import people from outside the West to make up for our lack of breeding and dying

@@davidadiwego4608 Why do either. Eventually, us old folks will pass on and it will all come down to whether the "breeding" generation is replacing itself. To a good approximation, it's not. Is that a real problem? Unless in a nuke age we wish to fight a war of attrition and counter human wave attacks with our own human waves, the numbers don't make much difference. IOW: there is nothing wrong with the population going down. It will mean that the "carbon footprint" will shrink; personally I think that is a nonsense concern but for those that care, there it is. There are other ways to "exploit" the teaming masses: one way is to raise their standard of living by letting them start on the road to industrialization. When they happens, the birth rate goes down. In the mean time, we we want folks to take care of us when we can't get around some of us might we will to become expats in some sh*thole place. We move away from family and friends but we can live like kings and queens otherwise. We can keep in touch with relatives and friends the old fashion way: the internet.

Just as their private jets are except from carbon tax.

@@lumpyfishgravy don’t forget about the mega yachts, that use 4000 gallons of fuel. An hour…🤔

Just like the Soviet Union…

Not still in the EU but influenced by its legislative weight

Exactly. I have noticed since the pandemic BS people have been encouraged to abandon civility & they have done so in droves. Driving is one of the places you see it the worst. I live in a town of 13,000 or so & I have an average of two close calls a day, mostly people running red lights, passing anywhere they want & driving 20-30 mph over the speed limit. Motorcycles & bicyclists are even worse. I am a libertarian but if people can’t behave & not endanger others society as a whole needs to step in & address the problem. If people want to drive fast they can take it to a race track.

Maybe the engine should be made to speed up when people go to slow aswell lol

Impatience leading to road rage, people don’t even bother indicating now…

@@Shoshana-xh6hc I have seen that alot lately.

@@Shoshana-xh6hc There is this two lane roundabout a few kilometers from my house and i always do a long and slow engine break there because there are cars ahead and i see cars going through. Someone always switches to the overtaking lane and ends up entering the roundabout after i do.

I'm pretty sure the MOT will be revised to test speed limiter operation.

@@luvstellauk just like the decat pipe on my car what gets passed evey single time? Depends who you know

@@phonetracker6438 However, a simple road test will show whether or not the speed limiter is working

@@luvstellauk and who will report me? The eu police lol

@@phonetracker6438 What the absolute fuck are you on about who mentioned reporting you? I simply said a road test would establish whether or not the speed limiter was working, whether or not you get dodgy MOTs is irrelevant.

Omg!

Drivers will only be "bimbling" along at 60mph if that is the speed limit. The implication here is that you'd be happier not "bimbling" along at the speed limit, but rather, exceeding it. You speak of road rage and "collective fury"; these can be pretty dangerous behind the wheel too. Where's the fire?

What's wrong with going over the speed limit.?

@@stephenmurray2851, although it's something I choose not to do, I have no problem at all with others doing it. Especially since the revenue generated through speeding fines means that the government doesn't need to increase taxes that would affect me. 👍

The fire is the sheer gall of some people imagining that electro/mechanically restricting an individuals car speed is somehow OK. And yes I do indeed break the motorway speed limit, who doesn't?

Stop using your brain, Daddy Government will do the thinking for you.

@@asandax6 Sorry. It's a compulsion I've had since the accident. I got a little brain dabamadamage

It might make a difference in America but here in Britain someone doing 40 in a 60 makes little difference to overall journey time. I've plodded along at 40 and spotted cars that over took me 2 or 3 cars ahead 10 miles later waiting at a junction. The steadier you drive the better you can judge junctions and the less likely someone is to over brake meaning the stress on driver and vehicle is less and the time gain is minimal.

I'd ride one again, if towns built proper parking areas with huge lockers for all your gear, secure and guarded, with ground anchoring for locks. Imagine motorised China.....

They haven't even started yet....

Clown

Care to explain? I have one in a car bought last year thankfully I am a responsible driver and I can turn mine off. I don't think it should be mandatory and could be very dangerous

Yes they certainly have

Very true. And I always know when its raining I hear the cars driven twice as fast thru my village.

I'd guess it cuts off acceleration above the speed limit with an alert, rather than braking for you

Did you think that producers would produce to two standards?

@@HOSPlTALLER have you got the latest sat nav update. Mine has been much better since I did.

Do you also wear a mask while driving?

Thats the point

Most fatalities are causes by speed, however.
