"This Is A Massive Issue" | EU Demands New Speed Limiting Devices In Cars 

We're not in the EU this is madness

Vote Labour and this will get 10x worse.

This, folk's is why Britain is broken, people like this....

Like others, I'm not even going to listen to this guy. We've had enough. Vote Reform!

Don't buy a new car...... Especially one made in the EU

Cyclist should observe the Highway Code. That might help!

Time to vote to end the overreach of government. We live in a failing nanny state

Give the EU the middle finger.

Cyclist need to start looking after themselves instead of relying on drivers to keep them safe

Sorry I have to go I cannot listen to this guy.

The Eu can get stuffed, we don't live by their rules, apparently...

It's not about safety, it's about control.

This is how you know we didn't get the Brexit we voted for.

I’m sick of this nonsense. Where’s the political consequence for rubbish like this.

more nanny state, where does all this madness end, how about teach people to drive better

I've already got a speed limiter in my car, it's called a Wife.

How about making cyclists responsible for their actions not just car drivers. After all more cyclists jump red traffic lights, ignore zebra crossings, ride the wrong way up one-way streets, ride on pavements, ride without lights at night, and with the introduction of the mandatory 20 MPH speed limits they can easily break them, all without consequence. It’s oh so very easy to blame the motorist over the cyclist, when cyclists probably contravene more Highway Code rules in urban areas than motorists. Yes it's the urban areas where most accidents occur, but it’s not just because of the action of motorists but also to a large extent because of the actions of inconsiderate, selfish cyclists.

Is there a fringe group this man is not heading up? God help us for the next 15 years

Put police back on the road . Driver aides and all of this crap is all about control and dilutes driving skills .

5 mph speed limit should be applied to cyclists…? 👍

Last week I was travelling on a road driving at about 28mph and a cyclist tried to overtake me.Due to traffic he couldn't get past,if he had done so he would have been travelling faster, therefore,he would have been travelling above the speed limit of that road.

Wotta load of bollocks

Good luck today. Vote wisely. Vote Reform and help save the UK from all the madness. This is your 1 chance to make a positive difference! Time to take back the UK.

And so the prices of classic cars go through the roof!

If you buy a new car with one of these fitted then there will soon be ways to disable this.

How about we also have eye limiters so we don’t look at anything we shouldn’t be?

It won't last long when they realise how much money they are loosing from speeding fines

Is this for real? Try driving over 40mph on the M62.

If it automatically reduces the speed, so know more need for speed cameras

They are literally trying to stop people buying electric cars 😂😂😂😂😂

Here's a novel idea to reduce cycling accidents, ban cycling. Problem solved.

If the system can be overridden, then the people who cause these accidents will override it.. I can imagine the fast lanes being full of Audi's and BMWs driven by young men pressing harder on their accelerator.. Much like it is now.

ahh so we have not left the EU.. REFORM UK

Over my dead body will i own a car that does that. 100% of road deaths are caused by incompetence- everyone who isnt an elderly woman or young girl whos just passed (both usually completely incompetent) speeds. Also if your forever looking at your speedo terrified of getting a fine YOU AREN'T LOOKING AT THE DAM ROAD!!!!!!!!!!

This man needs his bumps read.

Brewer we’re not in the eu let’s take control……so why did we leave Europe

Let the traffic jams begin if everybody is doing the same speed the jams will be enormous 🤬🤬🤬

Julia wiped the floor with his floored logic

Julia, why in earth do uounhive airtkme to people like this, too much is never enough, and he will not be happy until we are all walking in blow-up sumo suits, in case we fall over - this nanny nknsense has to stop. It may be a great deal more sensible to use the tech in phones to stop kids walking around looking at screens. Accidents involving speed are not accidents caused by speed. Be careful of the definitions as per the period when lots of people sadly died a few years back.

Had a few near misses with bloody electric cars their too quiet

Does this man really believe insurance premiums will come down? 😂

This will end in tears

Here we go ! It's always the drivers fault ! How many pedestrians have been killed or injured through their own stupidity ?...Who's got them statistics ?

Insurance companies don't want to insure EV's, hence your policy has risen, a light prang could quite conceivably right off an EV.

Hit after hit on car drivers , lets face it they just want cars off the roads. Wle pay through the nose in multiple ways to use our vehicles and have ever increasing restrictions placed upon us . How about enforcing more restrictions on cyclists like registering cycles, having compulsory insurance, paying a yearly nominal fee to use the roads. Why is it only car drivers get hammered with all these rules and costs to use their vehicles on the roads?

Politicians, Royalty, blue light traffic and “friends”, will no doubt be exempt from this nonsense. I’ve cancelled my Lamborghini order…

What happens when someone tries jacking your car your stuck on a 10mph road your nakered Not to mention ive been in near collisions and had to jump a little over the speed limit to get out of it plus some hills especially in wales its not possible to get up without going 30 or at least the car thinks its going 30mph yet the speed limit is 20

Cyclists should be subject to laws also as there is also dangerous manoeuvres by them that can cause harm . And give them I.d so you know who they are along with. insurance . All should have a duty of care !

If someone has an accident while driving a vehicle that now has that stupid lane assist and now speed limiters, how can someone prosecuting that person or insurance companies argue that the person driving actually had control of the vehicle?

Stamp on freedom.

Get bloody Cyclists off 'Foot'paths..they are becoming a pain in the butt..

Isn't he the just stop oil guy? Johnny do-gooder trying to dictate our lives

All new cars sold from 7th July must have the speed limiters fitted but they don’t have to be turned on. Not so in Northern Ireland where EU law prevails and the speed limiter must be operational from that date. Will any new cars be sold in Northern Ireland? Second hand sales will rocket.

My car has a speed limiter feature, which I have turned off because it sometimes reads the exit road speed sign of 30 when you are on a dual carriageway and it slams the brakes on. It also,does the reverse when I am in roadworks doing 50 mph, it reads the national speed limit on the slip road and sets off at 70!

Yet again this has nothing to do with what they say it does. It is about tracking the location of every vehicle and being able to shut down cars remotely.

In UK (for now) limiters will be fitted on new cars but not activated. Even with the limiter activated, if the car exceeds the limit for whatever reason you still get a speeding fine and points. No cameras or police intervention required. The car will grass you up. Fine will turn up shortly after.

Where I live in Scotland, whatever the speed limit is, I'd estimate that 90% of drivers exceed it. Anytime that I've driven in England the figures are very similar. I'm happy to say that I'm not one of them!....

I drove grocery deliveries...often the speed on the device DID NOT match the speed on the sign posts. On the A6 here, less than 500 yards from this house, my neighbours car screeches out a SPEEDING WARNING as you pass the Texaco garage!!!!! The A6 there is clearly marked 40mph...not 20 mph as the car says!!!! Its a single carriage Acroad...it ought to be 60mph....according to highway code. Its getting ridiculous with the confusion between paper book law road types sattellites and car sensors!!!!!!!!!!

What about bikes that jumped red lights??

I wonder how much insurance is going to come down 🙃🤣😂😂

20mph is ridiculous and stupid when you have zealous cyclists overtaking you! Ludicrous

...and when the car reads the wrong speed limit sign? (what a clown)

This will be the nail in the coffin for the new car industry, but will be a huge boost to the second hand market.

Nothing too do with speed, and all about control.... Easier too issue speeding tickets and whats more they can issue 100X more as it will be linked too the limiter with the data automatically uploaded to the fines office etc... New cars are social control cars....

They just keep adding to the reasons why I won't be buying a new car. No problem - I have all the cars I'm ever going to need.

When most car Manufacturers are cutting back on the production of EV's as they were not able to make a profit on them, due to their lack of range and high cost of insurance if customers can in fact get insurance on them!

You can turn the speed limiter off, but this must be done each time you start the vehicle

In South Asia they made regulation easier. The roads especially in semi urban and rural areas are " natural speed limiters". You dont need devices there. 😅

Everybody speeds at sometime everybody

Tucks have been limited to 56 mph for years.

there never going to let this happen here for some time, do you realise how much money the authorities make each year from speeding fines. Where they going to raise that lost revenue..?

That will work until the first time you need to accelerate over the limit to try and avoid being hit by another vehicle, possibly being driven by someone over the legal alcohol limit, 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... Unfortunately that's turning out to be the norm rather than the exception. It's probably one of the few jobs you can get that pays well and you can still be dumb as a box of rocks. You just have to look good, sound good, and most of all, be a consummate BS artist.

We are not in the EU FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!

Old cars will be running then they aint doing anything to my car

Oh yeah can't wait to see the insurance premiums go down 😂😂

Very cleverly liked injuries and deaths together .1700 deaths on roads , many more people die doing DIY and falling off step ladders . Are we going to ban DIY? Ban step ladders ?. This man is a vile rabble rouser and trouble causer

Surprising they don't want speedos insurance tax licence plates on bikes

Yes at the moment it can be overidden,but this could easily be changed by the manufactures remotely. The new mini as an example there is a "set" button on the steering wheel that you need to press every time you drive off to disable the speed limiter. However what happens if you forget and then try to overtake on a 50 mph a vehicle doing 45. As you overtake, the car hits 50 and the acceleration stops,just as an oncoming vehicle comes into view. Rather than add to safety, I think, under certain circumstances,this feature could be dangerous.But what do I know, I`ve only been driving for 50 yrs.

im sure there will soon be a way to bypass this stupid idea, they just cant leave people alone . lifes hard enough without all this crap.

Why does the media keep wheeling this guy out, a zealot that never has anything interesting to say, and is so so boring.

Oh dear what will they do without anyone speeding anymore all that revenue lost they will have to raise taxes to fill the shortfall😂😂😂😂😂😂

is it just me or did the statistics keep creeping up?

I doubt there will ever be one available to fit my 1962 Morris Minor 1000.

Surely this can be switched off?

Why do they keep giving this guy air time? If it was up to him, we'd be riding bycles and lightning our houses with candles

To be honest i hate any government intervention. However, there are so many morons on the road driving far too quickly, yes not necessarily causing accidents, but still driving too quickly for the road and conditions. Secondly i have a speed limiter and love it as i never have to look at the speedo and instead can fully concentrate on the moronic cyclists and pedestrians on phones etc. You can always switch it off

EU can demand what it likes we are not in the club anymore

Cyclist needs to behave as well

Not him again! Off to watch paint dry more interesting. Don’t forget to vote Reform 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The guys that steal cars will over ride this

Why are we still listening to the unelected bureaucrats from the EU. I thought we left it years ago. Xxxxxx

At the same time this is being imposed upon the ‘motorist’ our roads have never been so dangerous: the state of the surface, the volume of signage, the traffic calming obstacle course, the electric bicycles and scooters, and the idea that they are some kind of linear playground overseen by tyrannical councils .

Had them for years on lorries,no problem you get used to them

The end of very expensive supercars.Whats the point if they cant go faster than everyone else.Although most accidents are caused by lack of attension.

I thought the maximum speed limit on british roads was 70MPH... is everyone protesting the limiters a habitual speeder? our laws already prohibit driving faster than 70mph. the limiter is merely a physical device to make sure you dont. as for the device to stop you driving if you are over the limit.... is everyone protesting that one in favour of driving whilst drunk?

the limiters are ( linked ) to the cars G P S so as the gps tells you the speed limit on the road you are driving on thats how the system works

I love cars, and speed, can't beat a V8 Mustang, but fair play ,if there is a speed limit then stick to it, no more speeding fines that will pi** the government off, just go to a track for some speed fun.

Digital fascism, minus potholes, all dangerous. Let's rebuild Reliant Robins.

It’s all about controlling freedom of movement. Next the black box will stop your car starting if you have done too many miles or want to leave your 15 minute neighbourhood

Nothing speed limits my old V8! 😂
