        Moved from the subforum that shall not be named, as it's nothing to do with it.

        The UK’s Vehicle Certification Agency has previously said that it intends to mirror (these new) E.U. rules
        Forbes point out that these are proposals that have been voted through committee. They're not inevitably going to become law.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Or “No”, given there are more British representatives on the committee than German or French.

            Members | Home | IMCO | Committees | European Parliament

            If you disagree with the ruling, best to lobby your local MEP. You’ve got 4 weeks to do it, and after that we will be “rule takers” and not rule makers.

              Well this clearly will not come to pass in the form it is in.

              Who is going to pay 60, 70, 80+ k for a german uber wagon that is going to tell you to slow down every time you try and use a tenth of it's power.

              Or interestingly - on an autobahn I guess you could use more of it's power as they are 'unlimited'??

              so what this may do is just make all motorways speed limits go up.

                Well, Evo, the UK based car magazine says:

                Mandatory speed limiters to be fitted to all new cars in Europe within three years | Evo

                Following approval from MEPs, the European Transport Safety Council will impose mandatory speed limiters and data loggers on all new cars
                And so it is Brexit related, since in theory ( yes I know), we can make up our own rules and laws soon!

                  Yep, we will. I work for a U.K. manufacturing Clientco and we’re planning all our new rules now. Amazing how they’re exactly the same as the old rules though.

                    The UK have already agreed to sign up to those regulations. As they will be part of the new agreement on goods, where the UK has agreed to have EU regulations shoved down their throat.

                    I'm alright Jack
