CLICKY

When you look at the A127s newest accessories and read this story you just know Essex is going to be in the forefront of this Big Brother episode.

Private runways will be a thing of the past

keeping cars within the speed limit is all well and good, but what happens when you need a spurt of power to avoid an accident????

Apparently if we all drive at the speed limit there will be no more accidents.
As clearly this will cure all the idiots of their driving ineptitude!

Yet if you check out the latest figures for deaths and injuries this doesnt reflect speed at all

I agree with this, in principle, and if only in 30/40mph residential areas.

I cant really see it happening though, just think of all the lost revenue from the speeders.

Not to mention the fact that it would be voluntary, so the only people likely to fit such a device, would be the "go everywhere below the limit" types anyway.

Trouble is this is already a reality Brian. Now it's just a case of turning this from a few cars as it is at present to the masses.
