Yah and there is a difference between people who know how to go fast and people who think they are hot shit when in actuality they are dipshits who don't know how to take environment into consideration.


guess what category most of the people who drive fast fall into?

oh, I see it! look up there in the tree... aaaah! bump thud thud..

dude! I just ran over that woman and her baby!


You know what would be a much better use of this technology? how about making a car that does not let you speed period!. Every street sign should have some sort of TX that tells the car what the speed limit is, and no matter how much you floor it, the car does not accelerate.

Or, you can no longer dodge the red light runner.

Or, you can no longer choose the appropriate speed for the situation.

We could cripple people's cars... or we could do something called personal responsibility.]]>Dec 15th 2008 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/
This is to help people avoid getting tickets and demerit points. Not to babysit drunk drivers and 40 year olds who have no sense of responsibility behind the wheel.

Obviously there would be a switch to turn off the speed limit feature and disengage it for highway routes and emergencies.

In all my years of driving I have never had the need to floor it through a school zone...

I already read something similar to your idea. The road sign does not send data to the car, your GPS knows you are in a 35 miles zone and will not let your go faster.

You could even have the car snitch on you! The device could tell you where going 70 miles a hour in a 35 miles zone!

What would be the point of having a car like that?

Maybe to get insurance credit or something similar and prove you drive safelly.]]>Dec 15th 2008 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 16th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/
It should have a radar detector built in as well.
It might get a little annoying when you are actually stopping at those intersections. ]]>Dec 15th 2008 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 15th 2008 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/

I see signs all the time in the bay area with MPH signs saying "Radar Enforced" or something similar. Are you saying the sign doesn't have any real merit and it's just to scare us into driving slow?]]>Dec 16th 2008 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 16th 2008 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/

Btw...yellow lights mean *slow* down not speed up so I can get thru the intersection and *hopefully* miss the red light. That mentality is exactly what causes intersection accidents. If the lights aren't long enough go take it up with your congressman, preferably during an election year and get a poop ton of people involved.

@macuser25 - If Maryland traffic law is anything like VA law then you basically performed a "California" stop which is illegal. In Va you're technically supposed to stop at any red light/stop sign for about 3 seconds. If you just roll right on through that isn't stopping. Just because the vast majority of drivers drive a certain != the correct way to drive.]]>Dec 16th 2008 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/gps-angel-promises-to-keep-watch-on-red-light-and-speed-cameras/Dec 16th 2008 4:50PM
