In the US, people who get themselves lost in the mountains, hiking, or more likely skiing out-of-bounds, get a bill for the costs of the rescue.

Speed restrictors on cars is unrealistic, I think. Retrofitting them to the entire existing fleet would be a practical impossibility. If you merely required them on new cars that were sold, so many people would just hang onto their old cars that we'd have a depression.
