Brexit is likely to make little or no difference when we will import European motors with the systems installed – and manufacturers in Britain will also be building cars for export with the same tech.
The fact is many trucks, lorries and coaches already have limiters as do a growing number of cars sold with the option of switching on top speeds and warning bleeps when lanes are crossed if you haven’t indicated.

Racism isn’t purely football’s problem but UEFA must take a stand after the vile abuse of England’s players in Montenegro .
Fans who hurl insults at footballers because of their skin colour are ruining the sport.
