Governments are stupid, plain and simple.

the car begins to significantly exceed the speed limit for the road on which it's travelling the system responds by making it harder to depress the gas pedal, according to a story posted on the Toronto Globe and Mail's Website.

Yeah that sounds incredibly safe to take away someone's ability to control their car :roll:

What a load of crap. We need to ease the restrictions on speed, not make it harder to speed.

aye.

Don't speed governers already do this?

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Yeah, and you know who ends up paying for this unnecessary safety bullsh!t...

Looks like I'll be adding more squats to my exercise routine.

I propose a device which punches the driver in the face whenever they exceed the speed limit by a significant amount.

It would be more effective if we had a device which would inject the driver with a large dose of alcohol when they exceeded the speed limit. This way, we can bust the driver for speeding AND drunk driving at the same time.

A warning device?

Crap my Mom had a 1966 Cadillac that had a buzzer
you could adjust to do this.

And there can be a mace sprayer on the dash... just for the hell of it.

Try speeding now bitch!

 

[sswingle]

You mean I cant drive 80 all the time now?

Hmmm, harder to press the gas pedal. So if I were to use cruise control and just punch the Accelerate button a lot.....

 

[mugs]

I think it's funny that it only activates if you're significantly above the speed limit... since we all know they don't expect us to drive exactly the speed limit.

That's the hemi powered Chrysler Air Raid Siren. 137 dBA at 100'. Supposedly the sound directly in front of the horn was so intense that it would light a match and make screws turn backwards out of planks.

I kind of like this. When the road is smooth, sometimes I can speed up to 95mph without noticing it. I don't think it's gonna prevent you from driving fast but it will prevent you from accidently traveling fast.

 

[K1052]

They would never install those in the US.

I remember when they proposed using the automated toll payment system to time people between toll plazas and hand out speeding fines based on that info. The general public shot down that scheme pretty damn quick.

 

[PingSpike]

This is a horrible idea, since the system will probably cost way more money to implement and maintain then it brings in in tax (speeding tickets are just another form of tax) so we'll just end up with a bunch more government bloat.

This is a good idea. I got a speeding ticket a couple weeks ago because I didn't know the speed limit had dropped.

A better idea would be to have drivers who actually pay attention to driving. If you can't be bothered to watch the road well enough to know when the speed limit changes, you shouldn't be driving in the first place.

I was watching the road, not street signs. Have you never missed an exit or something because you were paying attention to driving instead of reading signs?

Sure, but if I got a ticket I would realize it was my own damn fault and accept the consequences rather than thinking some govenrment installed device to keep me from speeding was a good idea to protect me from myself. Your point of view makes sense considering you are in Austin.
