The new driving law will see Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) technology introduced in all new cars from July 2024, capping a vehicle's speed at the national speed limit of 70mph
From July 2024, all new cars in the UK will be required to have speed limiters installed, a move that is set to revolutionise driving habits. The law mandates the implementation of Intelligent Speed Assist technology.
A spokesperson from Motor Match remarked: "The new rules, set to take effect in July, introduce 'mandatory' speed limiters, changing how we drive on roads." For instance, ISA will prevent vehicles from exceeding the 70mph national speed limit. The spokesperson added: "It's important to note that while speed limiters are already present in many cars, the upcoming regulations tighten control," as reported by Birmingham Live.
They also shared some stark figures to underline their point: "Last year, police records showed that exceeding the speed limit was a contributory factor in 20 per cent of deaths on the road. Furthermore, travelling too fast or exceeding the speed limit contributed to 25 per cent of deaths."The upcoming rule change will affect not only new vehicles but also those already manufactured and awaiting sale, necessitating retrofits to meet the new standards.
