A lot of trucks & SUV's already have factory limiters at 150km/h. I know my father in law's Ford Escape cuts fuel at 150. But it shouldn't be MANDATORY on performance cars.
If this bill goes through, It's more incentive to never buy a new car.

You guys are probably too young to know this but back in the 1970's the speedos of cars were topped at 85 mph...take a look at some cars of that era. Nothing new. IF it ever goes ahead then speed limiter bypass kits will be on sale before this gets printed on paper.

Personally, I do not think this would pass... many people will argue their way out of this like actual emergency or because its a track use car...
Like all of our cars we already have a Speed limiter... but for my car I can add a PERFORMANCE PACKAGE that deletes the speed limiter...
ALSO
do an ECU FLASH that takes it away as well...
The law wont pass

Take for example. I live in Surrey. 144 st has a speed limit of 60 km/h and is a residential area. Then you turn onto 72nd which is a 4 lane road and they have the speed limit set at 50. Same with 88th and 96th. All major roads and all of them 50 km/h.

also gaglardi way, the start of it going up from como lake is 50km/h, then the rest of the way its 60. if you're not going 80km/h up and down you're going way too slow.

who ever set these speed limite is a fucking moron
surrey off hwy 1 152nd i believe? i think tats wat its called...or 104? outside guilford going to king george/surrey place that route is 60km speed limite. Why is it different than any other city routes? thought 90% of the city routes are 50km speed limite. And its two lane only
barnet hwy is one of the most fucked up route ever. U have two fucking lanes, yet in the morning as well as afternoon the right lane is in effect for HOV? and its on the right? wtf
the street behind my house has two fucking lanes, yet barnet hwy has.....ONE LANE? WTF  go figure. Technically u cannot pass if a stupid slow mofo decides to hog the lane in front of you. Because than you would have to enter the HOV lane ( on the right) which bang instant ticket material for you to pass the dumbass than move back in.
HOV should only be in affect when you have enough lanes to begin with, than fucking set up the HOV. U do not just slap in the HOV and give everyone else one single lane to drive. Wat the fuck is up with that.
US highway makes wayyyyy more fucking sense. 100-120km speed limite. Here?? 80km-90km? fuck might as well as make it 60km for hwy and 40km in city> i will support that bs if they decide to lower it. | |

So they lower it to 70km, than dumbasses are still dieing like bugs so now they lower it to 60km coming down SFU. how the fuck do u drive 60km coming down that hill? by the time u get to the buttom of the hill i bet every single cars break pads would be done if not overheat.
yes keep on lowering it, 50km limite NEXT coming down SFU. I cant fucking wait

I've spoken to a Coquihalla engineer. The design speed was 150 km/h. 130 km/h would be very reasonable. I've driven extensively on European highways where 130 is a standard freeway speed limit and it flows very safely.
That being said I'm getting older and gas isn't likelyto get any cheaper. I typically drive speed limit in the right lane and enjoy my ride with some music. A steady 130, or more, would be murder on gas mileage.

So I say FUCK YOU to whoever agrees to this bill. We need more Burnouts (fuck Yeah) and less Commuter grocery getters that barely hit 150.
I have a 4 Liter V8 that was designed in the late 80's and was electronically limited to 260 (before I took it off). I expect my future cars to do more and better than that speed.
Because I am a Man. And I need the feeling of almost killing myself.
Otherwise, I would drive a Corolla. | So you want a speed limiter?  | |

No way the auto makers will allow this.
It's laughable to even consider that this may in fact happen.
