Hmmm...not that I have such a fancy automobile.....but I understand lots have TV screens and moving maps and GPS etc etc nowadays.....makes me think if "Speeding" was SUCH a great Concern to Police and Governments that new cars could not be limited to the local speed limit....they know where they are after all .... that is IF speeding is the REAL danger constantly sprouted by Police....

Actually as an aside my receptionist wrote off her car coming out of our car park this afternoon...it's a blind junction blocked by parked vehicles so it really is a bit of a chance to sneak out......usually can see in the distance and then 'Count Cars' to make a 'safeish' judgement of when to pull out.....anyway.....she's been pulling out of this driveway for more than 10 years now...today she checked as best as you can....pulled out and BANG, collected big time by a passing motorist.

Her front end is written off and the car she hit...well the damage is all on the left side so....not good for her....BUT...(& I'm NOT a traffic crash specialist!) .....judging by the amount of torn metal panels on but vehicles I am dead certain he was travelling WELL above the published '50'....

I guess one day we'll all have cars that are equipped with such fancy stuff...and some will scream that it is an affront to theur right to be speed limited.....I guess there's people who scream it is an affront to their right to fly drones where they like.....or to own known dangerous dog breeds...or the list goes on.....WE LOVE regulation and taxation in OZ, so the possibilities are endless.....

What about charging motorists to implement the speed limiting gear......so you can both regulate AND receive income....in the name of 'safety' of course...
