Manufacturers can choose from range of responses from anxiety system similar to seat belt warnings to machines that reduce engine power or click back on pedal when drivers break speed limit. Drivers can override systembut technology will be activated every time car launched.
Experts have warned that system can fail when there are temporary speed restrictions or vague road signs that may cause drivers to speed unintentionally if they rely on embedded ISA device.
However, manufacturers including Citroen, Ford and Jaguar already started to include technology in some of their cars.
Greg Smith, Tory Member of The Commons Transportation Committee has warned that anchoring speed limiter requirements into law would be “completely unnecessary”.
“We have a well-established system of people driving a test, understanding the law, proving they can drive properly and then get the confidence to do it, with harsh punishments if they don’t,” he said.
“Whatever then seeks to layer in more mistrust of state of its citizens must be able to do what is reasonable, legal and practical. just useless nanny.
“Speed limits must be absolutely precise”
Edmund King, President of AA, forewarned of chaos if speed limits on the roads were changed and system did not have updated.
He said: speed limits must be absolutely precise, because car responds to speed limit. if you have wrong speed limitation in in digital system that can slow you down to wrong speed or allow To you speed to wrong speed”.
After lobbying by car manufacturers, the EU softened the initial plans do more strict ISA system which cuts the engine power once speed limit reached, required. Such a system that can be overridden for a short time after driver pushing hard on accelerator as shown reduce road deaths from up up to 20 percent.
The UK Vehicle Certification Agency has previously said it intends to copy the EU. rules on vehicle safety standards after Brexit.
The Department for Transport said no decisions was made on which safety rules that UK followed industry experts have said are at odds with the EU rules would be disastrous for manufacturers.
“The UK exit from the EU provides us with platform for capitalization on our regulatory freedom,” a spokesman said. “We currently pay attention to vehicle safety included provisions in of the EU General Safety Regulation and will implement requirements which fit for UK and improve the road safety”.
Divergence ‘would bad for industry’
Mike Howes, Executive Director of Society of Automakers and retailers welcomed measures to further improve record because he has some of the safest roads in in world.
“SMMT and its members look forward participation in consultations with the UK government on how these measures will be phased out out in this country,” he said. However, he added that a deviation from EU rules would be bad for industries, given the close ties between them.
England’s motorways, now known as the National Highways, have released a report. last year that found 30 regions of its road networks had legally unsafe levels of nitrogen dioxide.
The police have imposed a speed limit of 60 miles per hour. speed limits on on an “indefinite” basis, including on M1 from junctions 34 to 33 in South Yorkshire and M6 near interchanges six up to seven in West Midlands.
Drivers face fine of £100 and three penalty points if they are caught over the limit on these stretch marks. changes were introduced last summer for “foreseeable future” a year after a trial on the motorways of England.
Imperial College London study found which is lower speed limits do not increase emissions, while giving “clear benefits for driving style and associated particulate emissions.” In a separate analysis Transport for London was satisfied with what’s below speed limits “will not adversely affect on in environment or air qualitative”.
Gasoline-powered vehicles running on higher speed burn more fuel and produce more amount of pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, as analyzed by the Canadian government.
