This does come from the EU it was voted for and passed by MEPs 2019, and we didn’t decide the UK government did, at no time were members of public consulted. The black boxes record everything you do, speed, braking, everything and will be used against drivers, so insurance companies don’t have to pay out.
I personally would feel like I am permanently on a driving test but seeing the huge increases in AP on Q1 for cars that are suitable for me, looks like I won’t be driving much longer as I have been turned down twice for grants and that’s when the AP was much lower.
I wonder if while new car owners will be stuck at the speed limit unable to keep up with the unlimited older vehicles in front, the little boy racer behind will be tailgating or white van man risking dangerous over taking manoeuvres as they get more frustrated.
