Also interesting that the first paragraph cites 103mph as the speed in a deadly accident. Would 3mph have made a difference here? Volvo already limits top speed to 112mph in all their models since 2021 https://www.goodwood.com/grr/road/news/2020/5/does-volvos-new-112mph-speed-restriction-actually-matter/#:~:text=For%20the%20first%20time%20in,will%20be%20restricted%20to%20112mph https://www.goodwood.com/grr/road/news/2020/5/does-volvos-ne.... Then there’s the time-honored tradition of car mods and the legacy / grandfathering problem. Plenty of cars out there today can hit 160mph or more easily, even pretty modest vehicles like a V6 Honda Accord. Is a 6000# Tesla limited to 100mph much safer than an Accord that weighs a little more than half as much going 160? It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try, but the problem is much bigger than what limiting vmax on new vehicles will solve. 100mph is still many tons of force depending on vehicle weight, very much enough to do a lot of damage. Politicians love fixing the easy problem instead of addressing the cultural issues at play here in our society. Listen for how many cat-less exhausts you hear in California as evidence of how effective CARB and inspections have been. Again, it’s not that it’s a bad idea, just that there are too many ways around it and too much will to avoid the law. The best laws are the ones people want to follow. How do we steer society to a place where reckless driving isn’t so appealing?
