Thread Name: BS: speed restrictions in cars
Subject: BS: speed restrictions in cars
Here in Ireland,many drivers are getting killed, the main problem is excessive speed on unsuitable roads,many of the drivers are young and post mortem examination shows no trace of alcohol.there is a speed limit in this countryt off 63 miles per hour 80 kilometres,many of these drivers were going over 100 mph.
if car manufacturers were forced to make cars that did not exceed the national speed limit,all these accidents could be avoided. for england, no car faster than 70 mph etc.ireland 65 mphetc
2.governors or speed restriction devices to be fitted to the cars of all drivers under the age of 25...50 mph would seem sensible[theris only one small motorway in Ireland].
gardai /police officers are at the same time freed to do other crime Prevention.
what is the point of making cars that break the official national speed limit,its only encouraging lawbreaking and indirectly Manslaughter.
Sometimes innocent law abiding motorists get involved,badlymaimed and killed.
Society has right to be protected from these idiots,and CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO SOCIETY .
