That sounds absolutely terrible, just hope it doesn't eventuate. Imagine pulling out to pass & the system decides you're too fast & cuts the power. 

[froudy]

Just imagine not being in control of your own vehicle. It a big NO from me

[Kiwifruit]

NO is not on the options list Froudy
Be pleased that it will be "Safer for you"

Speed limiter is just normal on my 1.6 Corolla. Having said that, i did get a photo, 74 in 70 zone. Was uphill also. $200 and a point off licence.

I think my Astra VXR is "limited" to 155mph. I can deal with that

[grog]

Your photo would cost more than mine Froudy. Thats one fast car.

I find I got a family portrait taken of me and the  bride recently 91in an 80 $80.i havn't got the heart to tell her. I certainly wouldn't have been going that fast without her on the back

Don't buy new, that's what I say 

[Tally]

Hey!@ froudy my 5series doesn't have a limiter the book says it maxes at 152(530d) not that I've ever done that

[Kiwifruit]

I guess that with most governments unable to control their spending, sorry i meant excessive waste of the taxpayers money they see road safety, and remember they are making it "safer for you" road policing has become the best source of revenue after direct taxation. Unless you wear a gang patch in which case you can do what you like.
Getting a $200 fine for 4kph over is the fastest way to build resentment .

[Roo]

I use cruise control everywhere ,even in 50 kph areas...... 

Ain't buying any new cars if I can help it..... 

Mind you our police are too busy with the coni virus shit these days and all the local natives that are trying to change the NZ  into a maori kindom (that ain't gunna fly ).

I believe my XJR is limited to the same, never bothered to check yet though.

Funny, all my vehicles are limited by the handbrake sitting in the passenger seat . . .

A mate got a speeding ticket 120 in a 100 zone in a Series 2 land rover.

No-one knows how, and if he'd have been able to convince the magistrate to have a drive of it I reckon he'd have got off . 

We nicknamed him 'Rocket" after that.
