Another EU Gem incoming?

[Terminal_Boy]

Blimey, it’s a good job we’re leaving the EU to avoid stuff like this!

Except if you read the article the UK will be doing the same anyway post brexit.

 

[Nasher]

Yes but the EU probably won't have access to all of the UK data. We will just make cars which "meet the standard" so they can be sold in Europe.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

All the cars we almost certainly buy in following the collapse of UK industry after brexit will have it anyway (or possibly not as there will likely a massive recession).

It’s not like European makes will have a special model for us without this and the cars will likely have to meet all the EU standards anyway if we want to drive them there.

Post Brexit we'll be so poor we'll be importing that last gen rebodied dross that they build for places like Brazil

It will probably **** them off less now that they've entered an economic partnership agreement with Japan.

 

[Rannoch]

Wouldn’t bother me. If I want to continue my crime spree I’ll grab a taxi or a bus

Nobody's forcing them to though, they choose to do it.

(Unrelated but the UK seems to be a very lucrative market for Europe, and we also seem to buy one if the higher percentages of the performance models of a given model)

 

[Jonnycoupe]

The fact we are also number plate junkies helps the volumes we buy.

Top internet answer of the day

In theory it's ok, in practise you will get fined left right and center for speeding 31 in a 30 72 on a motorway... All the data will be sold and hacked / stolen everyone will know where you went when, how fast... Software errors will see you in court for doing 387 in a 20... Stopping in a no stopping area because the traffic Came to a standstill .. And on and on

They should drive on the correct side then.

Luckily GPS isn't accurate enough to do that. But as we know, relying on automated policing just makes it easy to cheat the system (i.e mess with the tracking system or disable it, tadaa you can now speed and never get caught).
