NSW Govt. Trial Speed restrictors

[FPV+fteT3]

Heard on 9 news this morning NSW Govt. are trialing 40 vehicles fitted with speed alert / limiting devices they aparently use sat nav technology to determine if you are speeding and if so emit an audible warning & if you fail to slow down the unit slows down for you.

The story went on to say if the trial is successful they would require all new vehicles be fitted with said units reducing crashes and the need for speed cameras and speeding fines in general.

Call me a sceptic but our state govt. are broke and I cant see them doing anything to cut the revenue raised from speeding either by cameras or any other method.

Considering the govt. agree that many people are losing their licenses because the points and fine system for small offences are too high but it will take 6 moths to impliment changes so for the next 6 mths people will be paying a lot more for small infringements and losing 3 pts instead of the proposed 1, pigs will fly before the govt. puts peoples REAL safety above revenue raising.

Would be a bugger overtaking though and your car goes into limp mode or in my case the unit would fail due to excessive use.
