All new cars sold across the EU to be fitted with mandatory speed limiters

All new cars sold across the EU will be fitted with mandatory speed limiters in a bid to cut the number of speed-related collisions and deaths.

Speed limiters are devices that use Intelligent Speed Assistance technology to alert drivers to slow down through the use of vibrations or sounds if they are to go above the speed limit.

If your speed is not reduced, the device, which uses both GPS data and traffic sign-recognition cameras to calculate speed, can reduce the power of the car’s engine.
