Re: UK - Car will book you for speeding... how @#$! is this...

It is inevitable that at some point vehicles will alert law
enforcement officials when the driver performs an illegal maneuver,
whether it is following too closely, running traffic signals, or
speeding. The technology exists now to do all these things; what is
needed now is the political will.

"The black boxes will be linked to central computers via the Global Positioning System so that the prevailing speed limit is known at any given point in time."

When politicians figure out that the Global Positioning System is not a type of network router, they'll drop the idea entirely.

Of course, there may be some on this group who believe that GPS is capable of anything.
