If they were really interested in road safety they’d ban touchscreens in cars.

The ultimate goal is not allowing us to drive anymore.

And the car manufacturers wonder why no one is keen on buying new cars. Maybe they should stop listening to the politicians idea's.

It'll be ankle bracelets for all soon. Can you feel the prison walls closing in?

They will shoot themselves in the foot again how will they make revenue for speeding fines if you can’t speed?

Fantastic news for criminals...now the victims cant get away.

It won't be long before it's mandatory and there'll be no option to switch it off.

You can thank Boris for this. He is the one that signed the country up to this big brother sh!t.

Speed limited vehicles will kill people in emergency situations.

Just wait until your vehicle automatically informs the police that you have broken the law by speeding and they automatically issue you with points on your license and/or a fine … it’s coming …

Good job we left the the EU, oh yeh, we didnt!

More Big Brother control. I will continue to drive my curent car (24 years old) for as long as I am able to drive.

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.

One step away from getting automatic speeding fines every time you "speed" or when the limiter is required to step in to reduce your "dangerous driving".

The next thing will be a speed limit on all pavements so pedestrians won't get hurt when walking too fast!

It's a stepping stone towards fully autonomous transport where Government regulators will have complete control, not only will speed be controlled but also who can be permitted to travel and where they can travel?

And people ask "why did we leave the EU? !!!!

Wait for this upgrade to be mandatory for your MOT

This video is to demonstrate walking in the UK is faster than the traffic in the background.

That makes TWO reasons not to buy a new car; 1) they are now battery-powered milk-float money pits, and 2) idiotic speed limiters. Sorry, car manufacturers, but you can Foxtrot Oscar - I am keeping my existing cars

i only ride old school superbikes lol :) just bought a suzuki gsxr1000 k4 . no emissions ,no bollocks .

I’ve just traveled from Great Yarmouth to Somerset cross country, no motorways, a total of 295 miles mainly on 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70 mph roads , never had a problem keeping within the speed limit using my brain and right foot accordingly,,,,no technology, just me,,,sometimes you need to accelerate to get out of a situation or have an accident,,,,

It sounds like “why to invest in speed cameras? Let the car manufacturers spend some more money“. The result, higher prices for the cars. And step by step I believe we move towards a new era where we have less and less control over the products we pay for.

I think they'll flip flop on it when they stop getting speeding fines.

This will slow down the purchases of new cars I would imagine, it's a dumb idea. If you can turn it off, people will, I have the stop start crap, and I turn it off every single time I get in the car, it's a habit now, so doesn't even bother me anymore.

All these modern safety systems only seem to be an annoyance and a distraction. The only driver aids I approve of are those systems that monitor driver alertness. With all these ultra slow speed limits one needs something to keep alert.

Whether or not we have these cars ourselves, we are all going to be stuck behind them. Maybe the silver lining is the driver in front actually reaching the limit, rather than cautiously doing 15mph.

I have an ex royal mail van. Ive owned it for 15 years. It still has its 65mph speed limiter. No need to remove/remap. It doesn't bother me.

First step in shutting them off.

I said how to block them and it was deleted by YT as usual.

Speed limiters are dangerous and I will program out any fitted to my car

What does work is wearing a white T-shirt with a large 10 mph sign on the front. This really does work!

Ah, so if you have a speed limiter working, there is no more danger in a 2 litre sports hatch than a 1 litre car , so insurance will drop on high performance cars, wont it? BWAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !

We here in the US are looking at the same mandates with speed limiters and also including breathalyzers. In addition, there are lawmakers that are proposing that blood analysis technology to test for illicit drug use and cameras monitoring both driver and passengers in order to catch improper behavior to be added. When any government issues mandates for public health and safety to save lives, it is always just more government intrusion into personal privacy and restrictions on freedom and control of the behavior of the populous. They want to know and be able to visually observe at all times where you are. Where you are going? What you are doing? Hear what you a saying. It all about controlling people.

Why do goverments hate us? Is there a department or minister ,for making our lives shit.

There was a guy a few years ago who protested about speeding by keeping to the 30mph speed limit,he was arrested and prosecuted for GOING TO SLOW IN A 30 MPH LIMIT

This is the beast infrastructure and they can stop you from driving if your social credit score is low, because you criticised the government, you are a Christian, your neighbour complained and so on…

Canada Australia New Zealand the UK and Europe always seem to be the testbed of all things Orwellian.

I can see the mechanics will be making money to remove them 😂😂

Not only will the government lose money with VAT on new car sales, but the tax revenue on fuel will plummet as cars will use much less fuel.

Speed kills. Life ends. Full stop. Crazy raging drivers.😢

I can only imagine how this is going to play out when people start with the spray paint and stencils 😂😂😂

Here’s my comment for what it’s worth. Automatic speed limiters are a bad idea for the reasons you outlined in this video. I use my manual speed limiter or cruse control everywhere though and for this reason never speed anywhere. It’s great fun driving past the speed van or police officer with a speed gun at exactly the published speed limit.

So the effect will be that no one will buy new cars! I won't ever get rid of my Mondeo 2007 or Hayabusa 2002! No shitty electronics deciding about what you can and cannot do!

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

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 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.

OK first off, don't you think it's about time you turned your Star Trek badge into a mic that would look pretty cool. After all it was a coms badge, it may take a little doing but I'm sure it could be done. Secondly this is what happens when you have too many mad drivers around killing too many people, if this doesn't make people think they will take even more control away from the driver, we all suffer due to the nutcase drivers, hiking up our insurance and now having the throttle taken away to a large extent.

In my GR Yaris the first thing I do every time I get in is turn off lane assist. Another piece of added stupidity for people who have no interest in driving!

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!

They need to present the stats properly. Speeding makes up the lowest % of accidents BUT the highest fatalities. If they truly cared about road safety they would focus on the biggest problem on our roads: DRINK DRIVING.

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

Since Wales introduced the 20 mph speed limit, there has been more road deaths and accidents. yet the Welsh government is keeping hush about it.

the idea of limiting to 70mph on a motorway is less scary than being limited to 20mph on a wide empty road at 1am. It's actually dangerous because someone in a car without this could slam right into the back of you because you're travelling so slow.

Time to invest in a GPS jammer then!

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?

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 .

I’m almost sure this already exists on some U.K. spec cars, but don’t quote me lol I’d have to look at a few at work (I sell almost new cars for a living) to be sure. I’m sure I’ve seen options for active speed limiter on or off in menus, or maybe I dreamt it??? 😂 This is gonna drive me crazy now, until I find a car with it already built in 😜🤣 Oh well, my daily driver is 40 years old soon, so it won’t directly effect me, but still, as you say, it takes away people’s skills! I’d love everyone to drive a 40 year old car like me! You have to actually think when driving, as there are absolutely no get you out of trouble features!

Good! I drive in London with lots of 20mph speed limits - actually rephrase that and its the real problem - lots of 20/30/20/40/20 speed limits that are clearly intended to catch you out by their variation. Going just a couple of mph over the speed limit at 20 is very easy to do, a fine is one thing but points are really harsh in this situation. So, I love that the car will automatically change my speed to the prevailing limit. Why on earth would I want to knowingly drive over the limit?? Embrace it, drive within the law and nothing to grizzle about.

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.

How do they stop the public not buying newer cars in time to prevent the manufacturers going broke because after the EV debacle, manufacturers need some sales to stay in business.

Hopefully car manufacturers will do the bare minimum and just bolt it on so it can be easily removed by their customers. Otherwise there's a lot of expensive car brands, especially european ones, that'll be complaining a lot.

Is it really speeding that kills more people? Or just careless driving? I'm sure most people who speed don't kill anyone.

yes lets all crawl everywhere because its far safer than standing up and possibly falling over.

Speed limiters will have zero impact on my driving because I don't speed. It's only going to affect those want to exceed the speed limit.

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.

HGV's have to put up with that and have done for year they used to temporary disable them by removing the fuse. So do the same to these when they come in.

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+/KZfaq work on these infotainment systems.

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.

European regimes are actively working on getting their citizens out of private cars by any means necessary, and raising costs is the best system because they not only force people into mass transport and 15-minute cities but also collect money in the process...

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

This is why they started drive by wire years ago. Older cars had a throttle cable so there was no electronics to control.

Ah yes ! The speed kills us since the car was invented. Not lack of skill, lack of knowledge, bad roads, idiots changing lanes for stupid reasons... No.. Speed only. You should stop buying new cars as of right now. Not a single 1. It is time for a push back. They cant just tell us what to do if it is BS like this..

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

Everyone needs to hold onto their cars because as soon as they bringnin this idiotic idea all cars with out it will sky rocket in value. People will be begging for older cars that allow freedom and the ability to actually drive.

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'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.

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 would not want a new car if they were giving them away, I will stick with my old Golf gtd 170 that cost me £500 about 4 years ago, now done 230,000 miles and still going strong and well over 50 miles to the gallon at all times! By the way I have never been prosecuted for speeding in almost 45 years of driving!

Part of me would be very annoyed by ISA. Part of me would be in favor of ISA. It depends on the speed limit set. Sometimes they are so low, that I truly wonder what the reason behind it is. I have a friend with a car with speed sign recognition. It fails regularly to detect the right speed limit. So, yeah, there you go.

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?

I also think perhaps it should have been brought in for drivers who have been convicted of speeding offenses, it should have been put on their license that they are only allowed to drive cars that have speed limiters fitted, and it should be permenantly on their license plus it must be declared for insurance perposes, failure to declare carries 3 year ban minimum first offense increasing by two years each time caught, after it is placed on their license. That would solve a lot of the problems.

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.

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 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.

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

One of these days folk will learn the difference between the EU and the region of Europe.

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

Very informative. Many thanks

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.

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

I have a Kia Niro HEV which I love but the one thing that I really hate about it is that the lane assist is ON by default and if I forget to turn it off I drive down the street I live in which has parked cars on both sides and as soon as I pull out to overtake the first parked car my steering wheel is yanked back alarmingly. Why is this feature ON by default?!! This speeding thing will be even worse.

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.

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 ) 🤔

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.

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

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.

Good job it's only Mandatory & Not Compulsory.

Ali foil blocking the GPS antenna and grease over the sign reading camera lens will sort it out...

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