X2700 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Maybe in town but out on highway I'd say no.Lots of questions would have to be answered before that ever happens!!like by how much over would they consider limiting?Hell im sure there would be a way to bypass!!

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted November 27, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted November 27, 2023 No but it’s probably just a matter of time until it’s mandated like all the other safety crap in new cars. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted November 27, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted November 27, 2023 They should probably recommend seniors 62 up have to retake driving test yearly before they waste time mandating speed restrictions in cars. Old folks are far more deadly behind the wheel. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots in that group need help getting their vehicles up to the speed limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat45 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 They're trying to limit semi trucks to 60- 65 mph too. I hope they do, and every truck going down the interstate stays bumper to bumper in the right lane and never let anyone else on the road.

Crnr2Crnr Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 most cars/trucks in the US are limited due to the speed rating of the tires they are originally equipped with. or are we talking about somehow mandating potential top speed via electronics? cops, if they're even around don't seem to pull people over for speeding like they used to, or for shit done to their vehicles which we used to get pulled over all the fucking time in the 80's and 90's. electronic limitation to 10mph over the posted top speed on any road on newer vehicles wouldn't bother me one bit... because I drive older stuff. I'm on the highway five days a week with the cruise set at 72 in the 65... and at times getting passed like I'm standing still. then there's others that come flying up in the left lane and suddenly start slowing down and tucking in behind me... @EvilBird knows why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst drivers I see on the road are young females, and Asians. No clue of their surroundings or how to drive in general. The young females are usually looking at their phones while they’re driving. Young males aren’t much better, 16 to 21. More balls than brains.

I think statistics show seniors have the highest risk of being involved in an accident maybe it was kids 21 under but they had a lower rate of actual drivers on the road since most kids can’t afford a car.
