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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you don't speed then it won't matter. (Did I get it in before the authoritarians who masquerade as conservatives?)

There are times when one must exceed the speed limit just to prevent an accident from happening.

Dangerous Dangerous Dangerous

I got a speeding ticket once when a lane ended quicker than I realized (Construction coming up with poor signage) and the jerk next to me would NOT let me over. Guess he figured it would be better if I slammed into the upcoming wall than actually let me in front on him (how dare I)!! If I slammed on the brakes, everyone behind me would have hit me and the person in front of them. So I punched it to get in front of el jerko. Got my one and only speeding ticket.
