The UK Government has developed and tested with members of the public a system that links a Global Positioning system and a database of speed limits with the fuel and braking systems of a car to automatically prevent the car exceeding whatever speed limit the car is travelling in. When it was suggested that it would cost a fortune to so equip all cars, a spokesman said "We will only have to equip 60% of them". How so? "Because the 40% without it will be stuck behind the 60% with it". PaulH. |
