All new vehicles sold in Europe – including Northern Ireland but not Great Britain – will be required from now on to have intelligent speed assistance technology installed.
A GPS based system probably doesn’t pick up signs from parking lots you drive past and similar nonsense, though.
Camera based systems issue a lot of false alarms, because drivers are just supposed to know that they’ve left a lower speed area and are back on a main road now. You don’t have speed limit signs on every intersection.
As someone who has to drive vehicles for work that have a similar system thats GPS based, I dont hate this shit as much as you would think.
I dont come to work to lose money because I get fined for speeding. I think “Oh shut up you fucking nanny piece of shit…” but I still slow down.
