Anti speeding

A new weapon in the anti-speeding war...


Big brother is getting even more hi-tech with the news that the government is testing bikes that can be automatically slowed by satellite intervention. Looks like there will soon be a new weapon in the anti-speeding war.

:flame:

Where did you hear this?

[NBs996]

it's in mcn tomorrow.

Don't worry...someone will soon come up with a device which will transmit a message back to the satellite, telling it that you are doing 29.99 mph, when in fact you are doing 100mph.:D

Let's just hope it's made by the same company that makes the ankle tags for parolees. Seems the tags aren't tracked if you stick your leg in a cast iron bath.

"Track use only" wiring loom anyone? ;)

it's not the speed they need to control.
I'm sure people will hurt you at legal speeds, it's the ******** drivers who are dangerous and inconsiderate, sadly that kind of controlling technology is not yet with us.

[TonyH]

The real problem with this sort of control is that it removes your ability to react to any given situation and will end up causing more accidents and deaths :mad:

Just imagine part way through a turn, leant over, big brother puts the brakes on your bike stands up, runs wide and you end up hitting a wall or on coming traffic, great solution you certainly wont be speeding after that.

[Monty]

It's being developed by the same Leeds University lab who did a similar thing with a a car a few years ago. With the car they put the brakes on, with the bike they are reducing the fuel to slow it down-so no sudden application of brakes half way round a corner. So, into 30 at 60, whip the clutch in and coast through at virtually undiminished speed, pass the deristriction sign's, clutch out and off we go.
It will only work on a fuel injected bike though so I see a great future for old bikes with carburetters.

Bit difficult to burgle a house with a cast iron bath around your leg:puzzled:
