I wonder whether the replacement of "could" with "will" was malice or incompetence?
Some people like to drive fast on private land, or abroad where the limit is higher. What if they want to raise the limit to 80mph again like they have said before?
What if you need to get out of an area quickly due to a disaster or some such?
But it says they (the EU) eventually want to make it something which can't be turned off.
Oh yea and you'll be GPS tracked as well. So they can harvest data and sell it.
If the speed limit set is stupid, that needs addressing differently.
So when you go to overtake someone doing 40 in a 60 and in a moderately fast car you hit 60 when you pass them the car will just cut out? Seems dangerous to me, lorries don't do much overtaking so not an issue with them but with cars i can see it being a problem. I also don't agree that mega speeds kills (on a motorway, if your doing 50 in a 30 you should lose your licence).
What happens when some clown puts fake 30mph signs up on motorways, or how can the system tell if an NSL sign is for a 60 or 70mph section?
You can't rely solely on GPS and a visual sign check is open to abuse.
Or NSL outside a school.
