Reply To: New laws to make cars boring.

    As far am I’m concerned the only one of the “make cars boring” laws which should be questioned is the speed-limit enforcer. That is downright dangerous. There are times when exceeding the limit makes driving safer: want to overtake a heavy doing 68mph on a Mway. Do it at 70 and you’ll spend quite a while in his blind spot and at risk. Go to 75 and the manoeuvre is quicker and safer. There are plenty more examples with which I will not clutter up these pages. Point is the car’s computer should not, ever, stop you doing something more safely and put you and others at risk.
