Do not require ISA speed limiters on new UK cars

Closed 587 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the UK Government to reconsider the use of speed limiters on UK cars at any time. The EU have made a ruling that speed limiters should be introduced in 2022, which the UK Government has said it will obey.
A road test using an Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) device by AutoCar found the system was “slow to respond” on occasions, and the tool was “confused by limits operating on nearby roads” during some parts of their test drive.

An EU Commission report also warned the new ISA could lead to drivers’ “diminished attention” on the road when the system isn’t in use.

The ETSC will be introducing mandatory data loggers - this could be a major privacy concern. Where is the data being stored?
