EU wants to put automatic speed limiters on all cars.
http://j.mp/13239BG (Telegraph)
"Under the proposals new cars would be fitted with cameras that could
read road speed limit signs and automatically apply the brakes when
this is exceeded. Patrick McLoughlin, the Transport Secretary, is
said to be opposed to the plans, which could also mean existing cars
are sent to garages to be fitted with the speed limiters, preventing
them from going over 70mph."
