All cars sold in UK dealerships will be retrofitted with 'mandatory' speed limiters as mart of a new UK-wide shake up in EU countries.
Motor vehicles can be retrofitted with three types of ISA: informative/advisory, supportive/warning and intervening/mandatory. Each one varies in the effect and power it has on the vehicle and driver. News of the implementation of ISA in UK-bound cars has generated a mixed response from drivers. Some believe it is a good idea from a safety perspective. However, others feel it would deprive motorists of having the necessary horsepower to "get out of nasty accidents". And some felt it was an attempt by the powers that be to interfere with the liberties of drivers.
"I believe some form of mandatory ISA is a good thing but not to the extent where it will impedes a driver's freewill. Having tested out a mandatory speed limiter on the road, I can see why it is needed."
