No. The solution is to prevent the situation arising in the first place. What if the driver you are 'accelerating away from' is themselves 'accelerating away from' a driver they feel is at fault (for some reason)? That way lies madness.

We can subsidise the extra cost from the greater revenue received from bus fares
You'll find your buses with not that much revenue when everyone with a free senior citizens bus pass is actually using it all the time.

We've established that I shall be only person qualified to drive, and I've already bought my car. Plus I suspect the bottom maybe about to fall out of the used car market. Clearly maths isn't your strong point...

No free bus passes. Double fares for senior citizens, to cover the costs of cleaning up after their incontinence.

Who has made that claim here?

I do hope the motorists are going to fund this ambitious and wildly expensive programme of compulsory health checks for road users.

No, you're paying for it. We can't all be internet tycoons.

Maybe that's what's really happening with this "street racing" crowd.
Which just goes to show that you CAN have too much safety.

it should be Internet Tycoon (c) Jonathon Bishop.
I've got a spare moment, I think I'll go and check up on what he;s doing now. I'm sure he'd have all the answers for us.

Bloody EU and their safety rules. and Corbyn, of course. Every crash is usually his fault.

As it will be up on bricks you will be free to floor the accelerator until the engine seizes.

Sounds idyllic.And what if everyone were to brake at the same time?
Everyone stopped. Forever.

If something appears to not be Corbyn's fault, you haven't been thinking hard enough.

Sounds like the M25 to me.
Unfortunately it doesn't if said twats can override the system by simply pressing the accelerator pedal
The system, one hopes, has two way communication or, failing that, on board recording of the vehicle's speed.
That'd be handy for the cops in the event of an accident.

Indeed. So it's probably time to stop making cars that can go at 150mph or whatever.

That depends on whether the vendor continues to choose (or is otherwise persuaded) to let it be so.

Cool, I've struck them off the next Five Year Plan but the boffins tell me they'll need more specifics on how fast "whatever" is.

So why the hell are you asking me instead of him?

In the same way you asked for opinions in the OP, your opinion is sought on this question. That's surely the point of debating, isn't it? Unless your OP wasn't actually asking, just saying "look at this".

Nobody claimed you have. But what do you think about 2hats' statement on the matter?

'Whatever' in this context would be 'maximum speed arbitrarily greater than the maximum legal speed'.

If it's arbitrary we might as well go with c, since no one is going faster than that.
