    Come on guys it is old technology, it will be soon the case in EU :

    From july 2024 all new cars will have an intelligent GPS which prevents driver that the speed limit is exceeded (the gas pedal will be stronger). of course you can disable it, but you have to do it every time you start.

    Can’t wait to see drivers panic because they can’t speed up in 30km/h areas (like around schools)

    Edit for clarity: can’t, not can. please respect people’s lives in sensible areas (cities), be conscious that you can easily kill someone with your 1,5T armour. And speed up as much as you want on empty highways if you enjoy it

      People (generally young men overrepresented on platforms like this) get really defensive about not being able to speed. They’re the exact problem these laws are aimed at addressing, so of course they get all upset at methods to force their compliance with the laws they’re regularly breaking. I’ve been there. I sped excessively too, then I got a really massive ticket and realized maybe that 2 minutes I was saving in my commute wasn’t actually that important.
