“WHY?!” | Fury As EU Cars To Be Fitted With Speed Limiter Tech From July 7 

Simple solution don't ever buy a new car

The EU again. It’s like a dictatorship over there.

Vote Reform. It’s the last non violent opportunity to turn this ship around…

Simple solution don’t vote Labour! Vote ReformUK

Social CONTROL.

Its all about control, Welcome to the digital prison.

Its the EU its all about control.

Older cars values will go up because of this.

A stepping stone to vehicle deactivation.

No new car for me ever again. They cannot dictate.

EU. If the car will not go any faster than the motorway limit, why would anyone buy a big powerful car now ?

Well there goes the speeding fine tax....government won't like that.

Nanny state telling us what to do yet again

So you are overtaking a vehicle in a 40mph zone and the vehicle being overtaken increases speed to 40mph as you pull along side as another car comes into sight coming the opposite way? Recipe for disaster.

Another reason to keep your old car!

It will eventually change into how many miles you can drive in a week and the net zero zealots will be all over this

as someone who drove lorries its more dangerous than it is safe, you know you've moaned at lorries taking 10 miles to overtake each other because they have an extra 0.5mph on the limiter, welcome to their world its happening to cars now

If they can limit your speed why not restrict where you go, when you go or if you go at all?

I had a speed limiter fitted to my car. It's called a knackered old Datsun which wouldn't break 70 if you dropped it out of a plane at 36,000 feet.

All about control

You failed to mention that, as every advanced driver knows, there are times when the ONLY safe way out of an approaching accident situation is to accellerate. I predict that the accident rate will actually INCREASE as a result of this nannying.

Sounds like another reason not to buy a new car.

no point paying extra for an exotic powerful car you can't ever use, utterly ridiculous

Not only is this the Big Brother state, telling you what to say and do, it's frankly down right dangerous. You could be legitimately overtaking a vehicle when the gizmo cuts in and reduces the power to your engine.

Should help crash car sales. We ain't in the UK. Should only be fitted to pro EU anti Brexit supporters. Next step is 24 hour tracking which I hear is already in many EVs

Of course our cars are different.... we are right hand drive vehicles.... so cars are made differently for the UK market...... Just another way of the WEF setting about controlling us......

If that doesn't get the Jerries, Italians and Finns revolting I don't know what will. The Tories and Labour both want the same for the UK. Ultimately they want to take your car away altogether.

they did this with HGV'S years ago, thats why you get long ques of trucks all doing the same speed down the motorways

Thank god we are voting Reform.... they are the only party that is happy to tell the EU where to stick it.

Why doesn’t the uk grow some bollocks and say we won’t import European cars with speed limiters. They would soon rip them out

If this comes in then speed cameras will become extinct, where will the authorities fill this void in income?

Freedom should never be compromised, ever

What a load of bollocks, so much for freedom

Wait untill the police can access the car and shut it off thats whats coming next

I'm aged 87, so I will not be getting this tech on my bike, or car. Shame for the young ones though, who will shortly be experiencing 1984. Or, there could be a revolution......

They make billions from speeding fines in the uk' driverless car ain't going to happen we haven't got driverless trains and they run on tracks.

it is dangerous. it makes it impossible to speed up to avoid danger. just like smart motorways it will have deadly consequences.

😂😂😂😂. Who’s complaining about Brexit again??

Digital fascism. Minus potholes.

If you want to stay free just don't buy, don't comply.

Limiters are dangerous. You go to overtake and the car stops accelerating, leaving you facing oncoming traffic. Had one on my Citroen. Had to disable it. R

What a hugely dangerous law. Just wait for horrendous accidents when that limiter cuts in when overtaking

I'm sorry but all these driver aids are stripping drivers of responsibility, this will lead to worse driving standards. Also what will happen in emergency situations like childbirth or severe wounds/bites where time is of the essence and breaking the law a little is justified? Are ambulances, fire engines and cop cars also going to be limited?

Ppl just need to stop buying new cars it won’t reduce the price of car insurance anyway this is ridiculous what next??

We knew this was coming. That’s why they want us to use EVs.

Stop panicking. Any technology can be hacked and re-coded. The reason we have so many amazing Japanese cars from the 90's is because The Japanese government wanted to control the power and speed of cars so the car manufacturers all got together and agreed to produce all their cars with the limited power that made the government happy but they physically built the engines to withstand much higher power so the customers could simply modify the cars themselves and produce much higher power once the car was purchased. The end result was cars that can be simply modified to produce 1000bhp in the 90's. Much more power than they would have got if the government didn't interfere. We can already reprogram the entire ECU of a car at home on your driveway now. You can currently buy chips that stop a car from registering millage now. It won't be long before someone produces a chip and program that tricks the GPS into thinking the car is doing the legal speed limit while actually driving much faster. What we all need to be focused on is banding together and uniting in ignoring the rules. They can't punish everyone. Just look at the ulez in Birmingham! So many people have ignored it and refused to pay that they have basically abandoned the debt. Same with the 20mph speeds in Wales. If we all unite in breaking the new laws then they become unenforceable. If insurance companies try and punish everyone by refusing us insurance then they will just go out of business. So they will have to change their plans if they want to survive. We all need to learn to unite together and refuse to comply together. The EV car market is already dying so manufacturers are abandoning them. This law will destroy new car sales so the multi billion dollar car companies will also fight back because they want to stay in business. Everything is about money and the government will never win against private corporations.

So we will have hordes of cars going along at the same speed all the time. Everyone will be bored and lost focus, the result will be lots of accidents.

I'd like to know why the UK is subject to the EU rules? Did the UK not leave EU? Ah sorry not under these Tories and not under the Labour Party either. hmmm

If you buy a new car with this fitted then there will be a way to disable it…no way am I having my car speed limited

Thank goodness I drive a 40 year old Granada 2.8 . Voting Reform tomorrow .

Tomorrow is the election, when the electorate will have the freedom to elect people who will control their freedom.

Vote Reform..!!!

Can you imagine the increased levels of confrontation between drivers of limited speed vehicles and those of older non restricted vehicles. Most of our transport system is heavily restricted by road improvements and repairs that cause huge amounts of disruption. It will be like "driving Miss Daisy" all over the place. Its just more control and escalated misery.

say goodbye to freedom then, this is the start

You know when you're stuck behind a truck trying for ages to overtake another truck?, well it's seems you going to know what that feels like for yourselves.

What they going to do with all the scam vans ? If we have to switch them on 😮

Another EU balls up, no thought gone into this. Who will be responsible for the carnage?

WHEN A DRIVER IS DOING 40MPH ON A 60MPH ROAD WILL THEIR CAR SPEED UP LOL

And when there’s another lockdown ? It’s NOT about your speed, it’s about limiting your car at their command

We pay as we drive already via fuel duty....

Its ALL about CONTROL, restricting your free movement any and every way they can. As with everything the EU does its suppression and control...

I long for the days of freedom again we should of known when they band smoking in pubs how blind we were

When you need that little bit more speed for overtaking and there's a lorry coming towards you

Who will buy a new high performance car now😂😂

You can always say hand on heart to future generations that driving was more fun in may day.

What ever happened to freedom, i really feel sorry for our youngsters!

Any driving aid that helps reduce road deaths is a welcome addition.

No more driving fines....? The police love them...!

I'll still be driving my 22 year old 190mph M5 car to Italy. Some of my neighbours say I'm a disgrace for diving a gas guzzling car. Then I point out to them their carbon footprint is far worse than mine. when they have had 7 cars during the same time I have had my one. The cost for the steel and plastic production to produce all those cars in this disposable world, is the disgrace. They say the cars are recyclable, but I bet all of t is not disposed of.

Good luck today. Vote wisely. Vote Reform and help save the UK from all the madness.

I never use my speed limiter nor the cruise control. THEY ARE DANGEROUS.

we're not in the EU are we!!!

We're not in the EU.

You just made sure none of them will be sold in the United States.

What will the council now tax to replce the lost revenue stream from speeding?

The car companies will have been informed long before this law comes into force becuse they cannot stop production to fit speed limiters on that specific date.

A man walks into a Lamborghini showroom and asks for a car that can go at 300 Kmh top speed. The salesman shows him several vehicles. He picks one and is about to pay, when the salesman says there is just one thing he should know. By law, each car has been fitted with a speed limiter which means it will only go at a maximum of 120 Kmh. The man then changes his mind and walks out of the showroom. As a consequence, the salesman earns no commission, the VAT on the car is not paid to the Treasury and car showrooms generally are left holding too much stock. Is this good for the economy?

they will be able to just close down your EV soon as well as know when your charging via your smartmeter and switch your tariff to a more expensive one on the fly, its what happens when you jump in the deep end without critically thinking why are they really doing this....hmmm.

It’s an absolute certainty, it will destroy the new car industry, and give a boost to the second hand car market.

This will kill the car industry.

YOU BUY THE CAR, YOU PAY FOR THE BIG BROTHER BOX

Ps I thought we left the eu ..end the echr from Europe and take back control for the people .

Control, Control, Control...FFS! what the feck do these people think they are doing? you will regret this move...

My daughter's black box was wildly inaccurate, claiming she was doing 40mph in a 20mph zone - it was in fact a 40 mph zone but the black box got it wrong. And this happened quite a lot. After 4 weeks of the insurance company threatening to cancel the insurance, I cancelled the insurance and now pay the full teenager price for my daughter. It will be the same with these limiters. And of course this plays into the hands of Sadiq Khan who will use this to further torment mororists - 5mph speed limits maybe!

I guarantee that Labour will introduce this once they work out how to fine people for other things to make up for the massive shortfall in speeding fines!

Aren't the autobahn's unlimited?

That will work until the first time you need to accelerate over the limit to try and avoid being hit by another vehicle and you end up in hospital or dead. I see some serious lawsuits on the horizon. There really are are some stupid people in positions of power...

If this comes to the UK Royals and MPs will be exempted from the law as usual.

What a complete load of nonsense from the EU you can bet the Labour lot will run to comply with them

Wont be long before Labour enforce this in UK.

I wouldn't worry about this. About 5 minutes after the hackers get their hands on a speed limiter device, they will have found a way to bypass it.

You can override the speed limiter, that's why you're still liable for speeding.

Vote reform if ya all want to keep your freedom 😢😢😢😢😢

Sometimes the safest thing to do to avoid an accident is to speed up. For anyone who doesn't routinely speed, a speed limiter in your car makes you less safe, not safer. I could understand enforcing them for people caught speeding multiple times though.

Roads are built better than they’ve ever been…. Except for ‘Smart Motorways!’

It would be ridiculous to have a speed limiter implementation and still be at the risk of being fined. You can't have it both ways.

It’s not true about the GPS / speed data being accurate. My

They was something like this a few years ago but the police put a stop to it because they wouldn't get any money from speeding tickets..

This is a recipe for disaster. If you're a driver think for a moment how many times have you pulled out of the left hand lane to allow someone on from a slip road only to find them repaying your courtesy by racing you to the next car up the road stranding you in the outside lane while an endless stream of cars follows them on from the sliproad. These ideas must be dreamed up by people who've never driven in their lives.

Once you register your car you have surrendered ownership to the State - you become the registered keeper. Therefore, do NOT register it. It is YOUR posession and NOT that of the government.
