London Begins Testing GPS Technology that Regulates Driving Speed

Transport for London has just begun testing a new technology that will artificially limit the top speeds of taxis, buses and government fleet vehicles. Called Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA), the system will keep track of speed limits all over London and will prevent operators from accelerating past that legal limit. The device is capable of slowing the vehicle down regardless of the driver’s wishes.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Alternatively, the system can be switched into an advisory mode that simply informs the driver when the speed limit has been reached. If these tests prove successful, it’s likely that the ISA technology will be made available within the next 12 months to private motorists that wish to limit the top speed of their personal vehicles. So far, there’s no indication that the government will mandate the use of the ISA system.
It’s hoped that a large number of drivers will choose to equip their vehicles with the ISA technology. Transport for London believes that both accidents and road congestion would be drastically reduced, which would also have the desirable effect of reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Personal responsibility seems to be a thing of the past. Let's let the government do the driving, too!

Re: So much for my lead foot........
I like what some of the states like Montana and Texas are trying to do, take back state's rights.
Re: So much for my lead foot........
Yup.....Texas is also working on any guns made here and purchased here are not subject to federal laws. This is going to be an interesting ride. There are 30 states right now that are implementing states rights from what I have heard.

Re: So much for my lead foot........
Dawn, Montana is doing that too.. I think I saw that on Glenn Beck last week.
It's very interesting!
GB said if this movement is successful it takes us back 90 years, as far as how much control the federal government has...
.....errr... WHAT AM I DOING IN THIS FORUM? really hot button? BYE!

Re: So much for my lead foot........
ANyone heard anything new on Texas and the proposition for state rights?
After I heard a bit about it, it seemed to go into hiding but oh goodness I REALLY hope ....
Funny, my dad had a license to carry and it was up for renewal, he went in, did all that he was supposed to, but it has not arrived. My mom (paranoid person that she is, but maybe here she might have reason ) is wondering if the things she has been looking at regarding government and such websites as WND and others and information over Solana and a certain birth certificate, etc. might not have caused some problems for Dad.
I don't know... I know for one as a born again Christian, a member of a Baptist church, a pro lifer, constitutionalist, gun rights and homeschooler just to name a FEW that I am most likely way up there on that list of "suspected terrorists" list that Pelosi and her gang of cut throats have.
But I don't care.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord and stand up for what is right and if it is a call to arms then so be it.
Can we start making a move to susceed???
