New cars could soon be fitted with limiting device that physically stops you from speeding
ALL new cars could soon be required to have a power-limiting device fitted to physically stop drivers from speeding.
And it could help to reduce road collisions by as much as 30 per cent, saving around 25,000 lives within 15 years, the ETSC has claimed. “ISA systems do not automatically apply the brakes, but simply limit engine power preventing the vehicle from accelerating past the current speed limit unless overridden.”The limiters will initially be installed with an override switch, where drivers are able to speed up by pushing hard on the accelerator.
But if the driver decided to override the system and continued to speed for more than a few seconds, dashboard warnings would appear until the car slowed down to the speed limit again.UK's vehicle crime hotspots revealed as rates rise to 450,000 offences in 2018TRACKER DISCOUNTMini that's clocked up just 16 miles over 30 years is set to sell for £15kCars will also be fitted with data loggers to track the success of the system.
