    I’m sorry - this is just fucking stupid. Cars are becoming way too bogged down with shit like this that acts like a hovering parent who nags you constantly while having to know where you are all the time.

      How the fuck does getting a speeding indicator mean that you have a nanny state? Merely being given information is too much for you?

        Because I don’t want a beep every 20 seconds. It’s annoying. Same with the constant beep if I drive my car 50ft down the driveway without a seatbelt.

        Nobody in the US is speeding on accident nobody wants alerts. The only thing this would be useful for is driving through long speed traps with average speed which didn’t exist here.

        It only exists to annoy the driver. And if it were a useful feature, not a nagging device you would be allowed to turn it off. Nanny state.

    California freeways are 65mph. Unless there is traffic, most drivers tend to go around 80mph. They will be constant.

    In my opinion, this is trying to tackle the issue in a poor manner. People who are speeding already know that they are, so it’s not like a beep or visual warning is going to cause them to change their behavior. It’s trying to force a technical solution to a non-technical issue.

    I just can’t wait to see how quickly someone finds a way to bypass this nanny bullshit.

        Information by itself, no.

        Having something constantly watch my behavior and nag me when I’m being “bad” is, yes.

          It’s not “watching your behaviour”. Nor is it “nagging”. It’s beeping when a speed is reached. Quit hyperventilating
