Or just keep running an old car, bung it in the 140mph lane and go
I bet some people would still sit at 50 in the lorry lane

I haven't read much on this so if I am misunderstanding then feel free to correct me.
If they fit speed limiters to all cars going forwards will this be the end of road going super cars? M division say bye-bye? AMG? Etc etc. Who would want to buy a Ferrari for example that can't go over the speed limit?

Reckon the Clio could just about do that, might blow up though after a while!
Dammit I hadn't thought of that!They will just stop selling petrol
I will be honest if it was blanket enforced, no car can exceed 70 or 80mph, or can say get 5mph over the speed limit, I'd simply lose interest in cars, only car I'd consider for fun would be a Caterham and then just a luxo barge for day to day or just leave the country and go live somewhere where the sun always shines.

The dashboard might rattle off

To be honest I rarely top 80 and have a reasonably quick car. Wouldn't bother me.
Also the UK will adopt this regardless of Brexit.

Judging by some of the responses in here, there must be a lot of people needing that extra boost when overtaking.
Seriously though, speeding on public roads is disgraceful and this new gadget will be a great thing.
Another example of the EU doing something brave and beneficial.

They (the authorities) can already do that if they need to, by tracking your phone, it is very simple and is done regularly.

I never have GPS turned on so that would make it harder, but I know it is possible. GPS/cameras in cars will monetise it though.

Even if Brexit happens there's nothing stopping our government from trying to implement something like this.

Most new cars are already tracked by manufacturers.
There is a reason why you now get manufacturer made phone apps which can show you where your car is.
They don't just collect location either.

Wow, I was hoping I would be wrong but looks like I wasn't. So looks like the used sports car market will go sky high at some point, hold on to your tasty motors until this kicks in then?
Don't need GPS turned on your phone will automatically send a signal to each cell it goes past to lock onto the strongest signal all the time, so extremely easy to triangulate and know your position within a few meters.
