Mandatory SPEED LIMITERS... Is this the end of motoring?

Geoff and Tony from @Evcarnage discuss whether MANDATORY SPEED LIMITERS will kill off the motoring industry and our whole hobby #news #cars #motoring

NOTICE...

I am now having to MANUALLY delete adverts from longer videos because it's just getting silly.

I know I earn money from this but the videos are getting unwatchable.

YouTube put about 9 adverts in the Geoff and Tony Chat video...!!

This has now been changed.

Anyway, if you want to support the channel AND maybe win a car... Here's the link

Lots of good content coming up, plenty to edit...!

Well if this doesn't increase the value of older cars I don't know what will.

If only we could fit politicians with stupidy limiters...

[Aztek]

If everyone on the road drove at 20 mph they would change the limit to 10

Some of the speed limits are mental. You can go 60 on narrow, winding country roads with possible horse riders, tractors, cyclists and oncoming cars just around the next bend. But can only go 40 on some wide straight duel carriageways, even at 3 in the morning when there's hardly anyone else on the road

Lane assist is bloody dangerous. I picked up a new company car about 3 weeks ago, up to now it's tried to steer me into 2 cyclists because I've moved over to safely pass them and it's tried to pull the wheel back to move me away from the centre line.

I'm glad I'm 63, and had a life time of driving experiences!

Hire car in Spain, New Kia Ceed, it almost killed a cyclist I was overtaking because it decided I was lane drifting and steered me back towards the cyclist, then 10 minutes later it nearly drove me into a car transporting lorry that's back was empty so I assume the car didn't see it. I turned off the auto steer rubbish but it comes on by default every time you start the car. It regularly shocked me by taking control of the steering, great fun on mountain roads! Absolutely abore the bloody things.

Why are we taking any notice of the EU ? Just take it out .

[sebasu]

My car has the camera system, but I decoupled it from my adaptive cruise control. Reason for that is it kept picking up traffic signs from parallel roads where the speed limit was significantly lower than the main road I was on. In fact I have disabled all the handholding nanny systems in my car because I actually enjoy driving.

If everyone puts a sticker on the back of their car with a red circle with 100 in the centre we can get around this.

My car has road sign warning for speed, however as a driving instructor I have had to turn it off, this is because it can often read side road (20mph) or even car park sign 5mph when the car is in a 30mph and therefor its misleading. If this controlled the speed of the car like you are saying then that could be VERY dangerous as it could course the car to slam on the breaks

[suecharnock]

this is ridiculous and incredibly dangerous! Anyone who rides a motorbike will tell you that there are times when the best way to avoid an accident is to actually accelerate. I have actually had to do this several times in my car as well. Heaven help the public. absolute madness. so so stupid. About time the public rose up-against this sort of thing. So, I will be getting rid of the GPS and the fact that we are being held to these idiotic and stupid dangerous rules is every reason under the sun to vote accordingly on the 4th.

Gone are the days of enjoying cars and driving swapping engines modifying etc, to think of the joy of hearing the exhaust and putting your foot down

[bassicuk]

This will cause more crashes than prevent.

They'll trial it, be loads of crashes. They'll scrap it.

Mark my words!!

[richbrammer]

I have a volvo with the active speed limiter. It's dangerous. Now turned off. A38 70mph, road turning off is posted as 30mph, the car reads the 30.... and slams the brakes on until you are about 40 then takes away the power until you are at 30. Imagine a hgv being behind you... the flashing dash and all the noise as well as the braking totally disorientates you. After it happening twice I turned the feature off.

[lynndonharnell]

Back in the 70s when speed limits in Australia were still in mph, a few 35 signs were turned into 85.

[JohnMintyTech]

You're spot on about speed not being the problem. Crap driving is.

[phillwainewright]

"Self-driving cars will only work if *all* cars are self-driving"
I've been saying this for *years*

[AndyfromSurrey]

When my kids were learning to drive the instructor told them the speed limit is not a target! My point is that drivers will get lazy & just put foot down as easy option despite weather conditions. I seem to spend my whole time worrying about my speed & avoiding pot holes!
