A car that can't break the speed limit...

[Dizzie]

I think I saw this advertised on next week's watchdog, but they were driving a car that couldn't break the speed limit.

If you ask me that's dangerous. what if you were overtaking a lorry and halfway past it someone appears in front of you. also behind you the gap you came out of was closed. because you can't speed up to pass the lorry before you have a head on and die. For the sake of another 10mph you could of overtaken the lorry perfectly.

Lets hope the police set the example with their fast responce cars lol. They'll never catch us 'drive by cable' cars

imagine if they fitted the device to your 1.8T 

lets not give them ideas

they can't. I've got drive by cable. the best way!
a bloke that makes custom brake kits for rally cars said he was driving a skoda with drive by wire and he was trying to leftfoot brake to warm the discs up. the car kept loosing power because it knew you had both pedals pressed.

I've seen something like this a while ago where there was GPS in the car and it knew what the speed limit was for all roads and the guy could never ever speed. Good in principle I suppose but not really practical for reasons that have already been said.

My God, i'd rather get the bus than have a car that done that, bus would probably be quicker 4 once as well!!

I totally agree with you mate. It would be dangerous to have a car like that
