‘Speed Control’ Devices Should be Installed in Cars, Say Campaigners
Posted by: Andrew Cheetham in Big Brother, Political ManipulationAutomatic speed control devices should be installed in cars to force motorists to stick to speed limits, an influential pressure group recommended today.
The Commission for Integrated Transport (CfIT), a government transport advisory group, said that up to 29 per cent of injury accidents on the road could be prevented by the voluntary introduction of intelligent speed adaption (ISA).
The system, which the report recommended drivers installing on a voluntary and not compulsory basis, would automatically slow a car down to within the limit for the individual road on which it is being driven.
However opponents of the report, co-written by the pressure-group Motorists Forum, claimed the idea was dangerous as drivers would enter “zombie” mode, where they fail to pay proper attention to road conditions.
