EU plans to fit all cars with speed limiters
09-03-2013, 02:26 PM
Not going to work. Germany autobahn has no max speed limit on their highway, while the surrounding countries do have speedlimits on their highway. I'm not sure how they are going to regulate that? So if you are German, that would mean you have no speedlimit on your car, while French would have speedlimit on his car but when going to Germany, he wouldn't be able to speed more when he is allowed.
Forget it, it is not going to work.

You could expect riots over this one. I've driven in Germany, Italy, and Spain. I've never seen insane high speeds like I have there. People literally don't give a fuck and speed traps seemed to be rare, if not completely nonexistant. On a stretch from Barcelona to Tarragona every single person on the freeway was cruising between 100-110 MPH

Granted, if there were such a thing as a New World Order, I can't figure out what benefit it would gain from doing stuff like this. Yet this measure looks quite NWO-ish. Unlike public smoking or jay-walking restrictions, it is not based on fines but rather on outright preventing the issue from ever happening.
Unless this means that we can also issue water hydrants that automatically spray obese people with cold water when they reach for a sugary product in the supermarket, I am against this.

I'm surprised they don't implement this in the US. If the max speed limit is 65 then cap all the cars at 65. Why do speedometers go to 200MPH?

So all an enterprising terrorist needs to do is wait until rush hour and put up his custom built sign consisting of a 70 mph and 10 mph doubled-sided sign that randomly rotates every few seconds and watch the ensuing pileup.
It's funny really, if a totalitarian state wanted to have control over people's movement, the better solution is to have a large train network where cameras can scan people's IDs as they get on and watch them. Having machines that take over your car a la Minority Report and this speed dealie is only rational if you have to provide an illusion of freedom. Reminds me of a toddler furiously spinning the steering wheel on a fake playground car while making driving noises.
