if what hey are saying is true then insurance premiums should be drastically reduced for those that do fit them. you cant break speed limit thus making you a safer driver. will never happen, biggest load of tripe ive heard in ages.

It wont happen for a very long time. There are massive implications that haven't been considered yet.

Would I have a limiter fitted voluntarily? Absolutely not. No way. Neither will I ever vote for a party that proposes such a thing, not in a million years.

then what happens, where will they get the lost revenue from speeding fines, they will just put another law through to make us cough up somewhere along the line.

I generaly obey speed limits but, I dont want some limiter kicking in on the one occasion I go to overtake a slower vehicle!

Of course, the next thing would be logging of speed and automatic fines!
