if you buy a new car in 2022 or after,
Big Brother will be sitting right next to you, I mentioned on the 12th of August that new technology that will come with every new car sold, means that speeding tickets can and will be issued automatically, well here is a new article about the anti-speeding device that you will be paying for in your new car, from the article:
The new
rule means all vehicles sold in Europe from July 2022 will need to be fitted
with an intelligent speed assistance (ISA) tool. While an official decision has
yet to be made, the UK is likely to adopt the new rule despite leaving the EU,
this is because the UK has retained most EU laws for new cars as it helps standardise
manufacturing practices, the new tool will use GPS data and traffic cameras to
determine the speed limit of each road, the engine power of your vehicle will
then be restricted to match the speed so drivers cannot drive faster than the
limit, (or risk a speeding ticket if you do), the tool will restrict the fuel
flow to the engine and issue audio and visual warnings until the car has slowed
down.
well if it all the same to you I will keep to our Jaguar, I can put up with it being limited to 135 MPH any faster than that and it gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Stan-who makes these decisions that limits a person’s freedom to drive? No reason to buy a new car as they have taken all the fun out of driving. I am with you! Keep the car you have now forever and avoid Big Brother in the passenger seat. Happy driving!! John and Alley
ReplyDeleteDear John and Alley, as with most things like this face and nameless bureaucrats in government make these decisions with no consultation, but as we both agree, there is no point in buying a new car! best regards, Stan and Diana.
