- acdha 2y agoImagine if the entertainment system / phone turned off when you hit the limit and all you could see or hear was the navigation if active. In an actual emergency situation, you’d accept that in a heartbeat but I think it’d be surprisingly effective for all of the people who just crank up the workout music and try to get to work fast enough not to be late.
- sokoloff 2y agoAround town? Absolutely (though I would still oppose a law that mandates it, despite having bought a car with a configurable feature of that sort). On a highway that's posted 55 mph but designed for 80+? Beyond useless. And also the reason I have disabled the tone in the car that I did buy with a similar feature, because there are plenty of 80 mph freeways around me that are posted 55 and I'm not going to deal with hearing that tone every time I drive 65 on such a freeway.
- raldi 2y agoIt goes ding once at 65 and once at 75. Seems fine.
- sokoloff 2y agoOnce per drive? Agree that's fine. Or once every time you cross from 64 to 65 in a 55 and from 74 to 75 in a 65 (which is how I read it)? That's getting turned off/disabled (or may perversely encourage drivers to vary their speed from 78-82 instead of 74-78).
