Speed limiters being mandated from 2022

Our whole US Constitution is written in the spirit and intent of 2A. That rubbish flourished from an oppressed people seeking freedom. It is scary the freedom we have allowed to be chipped away and the simple privacy we now lack.

 

Do you realize a new car today will not allow you to back into your garage with radio at full volume? Someone thought it was safer for you and those around you. Insignificant??? Maybe you should demand choice? What freedom will you lose next year? We already are ruled by your credit score. Just wait until your social credit score discriminates against you.

 

I sincerely hope this isn't the case, PP's credit score is deep into negative

 

Really? I think that could be libellous. Well done, **** wit.

 

as they say in the US, sue me!

 

I know what assets you have. There'd be no point. Plus, there are no damages because no one believes any of the crap you write.

lol...game set and match.

 

lol! that dementia of yours is really taking its toll

 

That doesn't even make sense. Situation typical.

 

sigh. you should listen to your own advice and stop posting.

 

I've never given myself that advice.

Nice try...love it when I call people out and their whole posting demeanour changes...makes me laugh every single time.

 

I didn't say you gave that advice to yourself. sad to see your condition is getting worse

 

I didn't say you said I gave the advice to myself. Looks like as senile as I am, I'm still smarter than you. Not that that sets the bar very high.

 

As every motorcyclist knows, the best protection against an accident is often the throttle.

I had no interest in cars, and became a convert to high power engines after I was driving a Nissan Maxima (which I had bought for comfort) and accelerated very substantially to avoid a road train that was driving into me and there was no way breaking would have let me avoid it. Was well over the limit once I missed him but it was close run in a 180 odd Kw car. Kids were in the back and we would have died otherwise. Since then, I insist our cars are amg level or above, choosing based on instant throttle, breaking distance, evasive handling and stickiest tires. In the 10 years since, the accelerator has saved my wife once in a similar situation (Kids in the car as well), and I am sure the fat tires and huge breaks on our various cars have been equally helpful in less dramatic fashion.

We would be dead if our cars had been fitted with a speed limiting system, even if an override system which required engaging was fitted. So yes, there are reasons to speed, safety ones, and I politely disagree with the posters suggesting otherwise. I would even suggest they may have performed similar evasive manoeuvres themselves in the past, allowing them to post here in health.
