Device stops speeders from inside car

Will never fly in the USA due to the government revenue loss from speeding
tickets.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Canadian auto regulators are testing a system
that would enforce speed limits by making it harder to push down the
car's gas pedal once the speed limit is passed, according to a
newspaper report.

------------------------

And this will probably add $1000 to the cost of the car which is really
what this plan is about. Why not just give jail time and DL
suspensions to speeders? That would solve the problem overnight and at
no cost.

Why not just raise the speed limits to something reasonable?

You can't jail people at no cost... Prisoners get free healthcare food and
board plus other perks at the taxpayers' expense. But it's still prison...
lol

You misssed the point. If people knew they faced jail for speeding,
they wouldn't speed.

LOL! Yeah, because NOBODY ever commits crimes in which the penalty
could be jail time, right?? You're a ****ing joke! Thanks for the
laugh of the day (at you!)

Doesn't work. In some Australian states, the penalty for drivers caught
speeding between 30km/h and 44km/h (18 - 26mph) over the speed limit is
a 3 month DL suspension, for over 45km/h (27mph) an immediate 6 month
suspension applies. In these states, the result is that more and more
drivers are simply driving without licences and insurance.
