July 7th speed limiters

[B21]

Up until a few weeks ago I was living in a 3/4/5G blind spot. Then all of a sudden we've got mobile phone reception.

Some years back EE were awarded a national contract to provide the emergency services network. This would be a priority signal over their existing system, so as they boosted their connectivity in poorer signal areas you’d definitely notice the difference. That said, I retired 3 years ago and as far as I’m aware it’s not been turned ‘on’ in its full capacity yet. Happy for someone still serving to correct me. What else it could be capable of is far above (what used to be) my pay grade. A

We have a network of those new EE masts all over the Scottish Borders to provide cover for the Emergency Services..in our local area we have 8 of them, only one is enabled for civilian 4G use..

We’ve had it a few years now, so perhaps the regulations have become more strict of late.

Mine is a new build and only weeks old, still able to switch it of once or permanently through functions button on the car

I have endured the existing alarms, only lane departure really pisses me off as it attempts to enforce some sort of control, which is easily overcome by just ignoring it.

According to my dealer, the speed limit limiter is similar, just stick yer foot down and away it goes! Time will tell.

You can permanently switch lane assist/departure off

Took me a while to work out wtf was going on in my Mx5. lane departure now disabled. The speed limit comes up on the dash which is useful, but you can completely ignore it.

Just think, all these incredibly powerful electric cars needing to be floored to get past something or to simply override the system. What could possibly go wrong?! :lol:

The only power we have is to refuse to buy products that we don't want. Car wise that's easy now, and I believe we all have a duty to try to keep old cars on the road so that choice exists as long as possible.

Yes, every time I read threads like these I think to myself, thank the gods I have older cars that don’t have all this crap on them .
