Default Re: EU regulations in the pipeline

I remember when it was all 100bhp limits and type approval for accessories. Only it never was, it was all talk and was never put into law. At the moment, this is all talk. As said above, headlines and facts make poor bedfellows, and the politics of the right care more about the former than the latter.

Just as well this is under "Idle Banter " otherwise we might take it all too seriously. What happened to the manufacturers voluntary 186 mph limit, done to avoid regulation. Not that it would have troubled me except in my dreams. And surprisingly only the French took the 100bhp figure seriously, everybody else ignored it.

That isn't a factsheet about actual legislation, its merely an outline of a trade body's thinking.

This is the real deal: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-1793_en.htm

So what is ISA?

...from the European Transport Safety Council:

"ISA uses a speed sign-recognition video camera and/or GPS-linked speed limit data to advise drivers of the current speed limit and automatically limit the speed of the vehicle as needed. ISA systems do not automatically apply the brakes, but simply limit engine power preventing the vehicle from accelerating past the current speed limit unless overridden. Vehicles with this kind of ISA system factory fitted are already on sale – helped in part by Euro NCAP’s decision to reward extra points for vehicles that include ISA."

Will it be implemented? Doubtful. Would the EU like to implement it? Yes.

"ISA systems do not automatically apply the brakes, but simply limit engine power preventing the vehicle from accelerating past the current speed limit unless overridden."

A limiter which can be manually over-ridden really isn't a limiter.

Safety kit in vehicles usually attracts opposition, seatbelts, ABS, helmets, all have had vocal opposition.
This important new safety equipment will reduce road fatalities and injuries and that is A Good Thing.

Anyway I feel its time for a tune.....
