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

New European Union rules mandating speed-limiting systems to be fitted to new cars, vans and lorries come into force on Wednesday, but are not being implemented in the UK.

The requirement for newly launched models to have Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology is part of a package of measures aimed at boosting road safety in the bloc.

Former Top Gear presenter Steve Berry joins Talk’s Ian Collins to discuss this further.

Simple solution don't ever buy a new car

[beefy]

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

[TheIrishMegaphone]

A stepping stone to vehicle deactivation.

[windowseat]

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.

[Stokie]

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

[aatlas]

Its all about control,
Welcome to the digital prison.

[johnmknox]

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.

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

[northnsouth]

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

[Pineapplebill]

Sounds like another reason not to buy a new car.

[Andable]

Simple solution don’t vote Labour!
Vote ReformUK

[johnc]

Older cars values will go up because of this.

[clovermark]

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

[peterzoeftig]

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

[samhodgins]

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

[mikadavies]

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

[manoo]

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

[cedhome]

Nanny state telling us what to do yet again

[kingshousetube]

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

[gooiehoop]

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