Us oldies remember the limited moped rules.
Totally killed the new moped sales for a long time.
Just imagine what it will do to the car industry now.
It won't happen yet.
Next is direct TAX as you speed from GPS tracking.
Money makes goverment policies.

on my tin top, my speedometer used to read +7 miles on 80mph according to my GPS.
Actual speedo
73 80
Mines the same now that i have changed mine from 225/55/16 to 245/45/17
I regularly drive at 80 though as my car does close to 30mpg when speedo says 80 and about 23 when it says 70
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Why would any sane person want to limit the speed of a car to 70 mph?
That is not a silly question, I actually would like to hear a sensible answer to that question!
I cannot think of 1 single reason
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

The only places you can legally do 70 are the places where 99% of the time is perfectly safe to do 80+(weather depending), so why bother with a
pointless limiter? The most dangerous speeding is that done in the 30-40 mph limits, where all the pedestrians are. British Gas vans now display a
sticker that says limited to 70. Woopee, so you can't overtake on most motorways, but you can still do 70 past the local school. Makes no sense
to me at all.
