Black Box Driving Revisited

This has been reported again, this time in the guise of "speed inhibitors" that force a driver to keep to the speed limits in force.

I am in favour of some reporting device that tells you the speed of a road - like modern GPS devices can do. This is a big help when driving in areas that are not well known and I think it does cause drivers to slow down once warned.

But the full blown inhibitor sounds bad - it would give a culture of driving as fast as the inhibitor will let you rather than what the conditions dictate.

Another step toward the black box system?
