EU says new cars must include built-in speed limiters

Every new car built after May 2022 will be fitted with anti-speeding devices to alert drivers when they break legal limits, as well as in-built breathalysers to cut out engines when drink drivers get behind the wheel. EU governments and MEPs agreed on 30 new safety standards for cars, vans and trucks. “The Commission wanted to make it compulsory that the car would automatically slow down to observe speed limits but we have secured a compromise where the system merely has to alert the driver that he or she is speeding,” said Daniel Dalton, the Tory MEP for the West Midlands.
