has the world totally forgotten the concept of limitations on government?

We are our own worst enemy.
Wait....
The people we elect are our own worst enemy.
Yeah, I guess I was right the first time.

Oh, my Gawd. What if somebody's trying to take his wife to the hospital when she's in labor?

has the world totally forgotten the concept of limitations on government? What do you mean forgotten? Most of the world is still mired in a feudalistic mind set. This is the most natural thing in the world for them.
We are the strange ones.

So how do they know where you are at when they think you are speeding? Does it regulate differently in a school zone than on the highway in the country where it's (probably) 65 or 70? (Speaking US speed terms, not Canadian.)
What will the police do for revenue without speeding tickets? /sarcasm
Stupid idea for multiple reasons.
To: steve-b
Actually I won't mind this reminder being built into my car. If it were were free; which of course it won't be. Add on another few hundred dollars to the price of a new car, thanks to regulatory mandates.

What do we expect? We haven't taught it in the schools for forty years, at least not with the reverence reserved for big government.
To: steve-b
Might make it especially dangerous to pass slower traffic by using the opposing lane. You need some oomph for that-you don't want to hang around over there any longer than is necessary.

I just can't wait they develop a reverse Viagra that make a rapist's noodle go limp the moment he begins to sexually assault a woman. Yep - let's have the government keep people from ever breaking the laws of man and the word of... bleep>.

You would be surprised, or maybe you wouldn't, how many countries would find that goal praise worthy.
It is, as I said, a feudalistic mind set. You provide service to your lord and he looks after and protects you.

It works with GPS. It knows where you are at all times and, therefore, what the speed limit is at that location.

Is GPS accurate to within say 25 feet?
To: steve-b
Where in the world did they find ten people who would let their government put GPS trackers in their cars that also interfere with the car's functioning? Do they get tickets e-mailed to the car's entertainment system when they speed too?
Anyway, it's unlikely such a system would ever be implemented in the United States. Aside from the egregious infringement on freedom, states and municipalities rely on the revenue from speeding tickets. The government doesn't really want people to stop speeding any more than they want to stop alcohol and tobacco sales with sin taxes. I don't know, but I would guess Canada has a similar racket.
