I think it's more likely they'll let you drive into the restricted area or go over the speed limit but the car will grass you up immediately and you'll be fined on the spot electronically.
That's the plan. My car insurance offered me a black box so they could give me cheaper car insurance as mine went up to £750 pa with 20 years no claims, I spotted what they were doing straight away and told them to poke it, I ended up paying the full amount just to optout from the spyware. It's bloody disgusting. I told the guy on the phone I knew what they were doing, and he denied it all, I said I know that you sell the data on and gave him a right ear full 😂
Here's s fact about Car's specifically EVs but any car that is updated online even if you pay fully for the car brand new you never own it you have no rights to do anything to it if it defects a minor accident it will be restricted and only put back to normal when the manufacturers say so.Car ownership is going to be cripplingly expensive for most.
Regarding electonically limiting speed, I believe that Volvo, Renault and Dacia have been limiting their cars to 112mph for the past few years. I also heard of plans for cars to dynamically adjust this limit to the align with speed limits, but can't find a reference to this now. Oddly, this sounds like more of a safety hazard than a safety feature.. Example: Speed limit is 100kph You start to overtake a van which is travelling 85kph. During overtake, van accelerates to 95kph. You need to momentaily exceed 100kph in order to safely pass and to leave adequate space between you and the van you just passed as you move back into the left lane. Now imagine your car suddely applying a 100kph limit in the midst of the overtaking manouver. Sounds like a very dangerous situation for both vehicles, not to mention oncoming traffic! 😮
I've heard I you put your foot down it will override the speed limiter. It does come in initially but is easily overridden. Cars with cruise control often have the speed limiter option that does get overridden if you floor it.
Speed limiters on trucks only work on level ground, uphill the limiter is not engaged as you're fighting the incline,and can't reach the limiters setting , and down hill the overrun pushes the truck past the limiter, (I myself have done 75 mph in a 56 mph limited truck). That's why most trucks are limited to 56 mph, but the speed limit in the highway code is 60 mph, a laughable 4 mph overrun allowance.
@@chrishart8548 Yes I'm aware, I was pointing out a limiter is useless in combatting a steep decline, hence me doing 15 mph over the maximum 60 mph limit .
How is this going to work ? All drivers drive differently, hence the wear on tyres and brakes will be different. Also more heavily loaded vehicles will be shedding more of these particulates. If the intent is to add a "wear tax" onto new/replacement components, why should I have to pay for the previous owners heavy right foot or "Sweeney" style driving techniques?
One of the big attractions of EVs at present share lower running costs - free road tax & cheaper electricity at night. As I’ve said to EV owners, enjoy it while it lasts because it’s temporary. Once there’s a critical mass of EVs they’ll find new ways to tax them too. If there’s no petrol or diesel to double tax (yes there’s a double tax) then they’ll have to raise the revenue elsewhere. My personal view is that it’ll be road pricing. All these new cars are bristling with technology & are permanently connected to the internet. It won’t be hard to collect the revenue then.
Geo-fencing has been around quite a while.. Supermarket trollies are an example. The technology to set a cars MPH has been round since the 1990's ( there was a Top Gear programme on it) .. Think of the newer smart phone tech and it all adds up to what they intend for private car ownership. Total control and crippling usage charges and maintenance schedules. Only the rich will drive cars.
I do the same job as you o’riley and it’s getting ridiculous what will they come up with next light wiper blade wear tax, I wonder if tyre tax will be applied to bicycles?
What about dust from clutch stop startig at traffic lights every hundred yards that comes out of little hole bottom of bellhousing that will be next i mentioned brake dust years ago
Not surprised. Aerosols from human activities are overloading the weather systems. Soot from aviation is a bigger problem. It stays up there. Doesn’t get rained out enough so it is accumulating. I agree a tax on your aerosol footprint will be introduced to curtail your movement.
Jimmy I heard Hreen Party in Scotland were going to tax you of you wear aftershave or perfume.....they were saying this will put up carbon footprint.......Its a good job they got Sacked yesterday 😂😂
EVs and Hybrids do not make more brake dust. They make much less, because of the brake regen. The brake pads are replaced around 200.000 km compared to 60.000 for IC. This does not mean that I agree with the EV enforcement.
Okay this makes sense. That explains why they released a study saying EV’s emit more brake and tire pollution than do ICE cars from tail pipes. Incomes another tax. 15 min cites anyone. No need to be bothered with the pesky car of your own any longer. Disgusting
Taking this all in, but I’m not sure about being taxed on your EV battery not having much capacity left as you’re having to charge it more. Capacity is less, so therefore it will be fully charged quicker…. Wouldn’t take the same amount of power to charge a half capacity battery as a full capacity battery. Be like saying it takes same amount of power to charge a 50,000mah battery as a 100,000mah version.
Davy, theres a lot of poor quaility brains trying to think nowadays & making the rules...Take electric cars not been required to use the same charging plug... Lets have rules requiring the removal time for a battery service @ circa 1/2 hr, rear bumper off slide out the back!!!... Obligatory battery service parts, to replace dead cells...
Of course it’s the ‘war on the motorist’ coupled with pay per mile the cameras are all set up for this coupled with electric prices for battery charging will skyrocket the cost of a full tank of fuel will be equal to a full charge, and still nowhere near the range of a normal vehicle, plus don’t forget when the next ‘lockdown’ happens they can prevent you from driving on account of the tech in these ‘electric vehicles aka battery powered vehicles, in rush hours £6 per mile in cities £1 on motorways, I’m afraid to say also euro 6 vehicles will be taxed like normal gasoline vehicles £200 surcharge on parking permits etc!
They can just specify what ever target numbers they want. Why don't they figure out how to implement the target numbers themselves rather than forcing the manufacturers to figure it out. I'm glad BMW and Vw pushed back. I'm sure these guys couldn't care less, as long as it looks like they are working.
No, EV's use mostly regenerative braking and only use the brake pads for the last few MPH to come to a halt. I have seen 200k mileage EV's on original brake pads!
I don't suppose the EU has stopped to consider the carbon footprint of producing and shipping these replacement EV batteries and the disposal of the old ones. Silly me, of course they haven't.
Vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to network and vehicle to everything is what is coming. Your vehicles will be sending out live data of your speed position and vehicle health. All new cars at the moment must have road sign recognition, the plan is it have tge cars recognise signs to adjust vehicle speed, ar first you may be able to overide the speed limit but that will change and you will no longer be able to. The vehicle to vehicle network will allow cars to talk to each other so your car will automatically slow for other vehicles
The new EV updates are coming with a new terms and Conditions apparently which already states they can remotely restrict your speed and all sorts.REMOTELY.But you don't have to consent to it.Just read t&Cs.No one does usuallly It's here.
I kindly disagree, EVs use regenerative braking all the time, friction brakes only on hard braking or emergency. They use so little these brakes that you find original factory brake pads and discs after 150K km... Weight is 30-50% more, not double. There will be research in reducing tyre dust and once these tyres will be available everyone can upgrade. I believe we just need a road tax with a black box that measure the distance. More usage, higher wear and tear on roads, higher tax.

The thing about smart people is they look dumb to stupid people. I agree with you on most of that brother.
Of course it’s the ‘war on the motorist’ coupled with pay per mile the cameras are all set up for this coupled with electric prices for battery charging will skyrocket the cost of a full tank of fuel will be equal to a full charge, and still nowhere near the range of a normal vehicle, plus don’t forget when the next ‘lockdown’ happens they can prevent you from driving on account of the tech in these ‘electric vehicles aka battery powered vehicles, in rush hours £6 per mile in cities £1 on motorways, I’m afraid to say also euro 6 vehicles will be taxed like normal gasoline vehicles £200 surcharge on parking permits etc!
Everyone is talking like you’ve awar easy excepted it. That’s why we are here
They’re already on with making driving awkward by simply not fixing pot holes.
Geo fencing!!
Edit… I’m still sticking with my 1.9 pd Euro 3 🖕🏽🖕🏽💨💨💨
I think it's best we go and live in Africa. They have more freedom.
100 percent
So does Russia 🤔🇬🇧
They can just specify what ever target numbers they want.
Why don't they figure out how to implement the target numbers themselves rather than forcing the manufacturers to figure it out.
I'm glad BMW and Vw pushed back. I'm sure these guys couldn't care less, as long as it looks like they are working.
There’s already a tyre and brake pad tax its called VAT !
So EVs will be taxed more 😂
No, EV's use mostly regenerative braking and only use the brake pads for the last few MPH to come to a halt. I have seen 200k mileage EV's on original brake pads!
I don't suppose the EU has stopped to consider the carbon footprint of producing and shipping these replacement EV batteries and the disposal of the old ones. Silly me, of course they haven't.
Basically, you can access most of the components through the dab 😮
ridiculous!
It’s about making you buy new vehicles.
Air displacement tax next, so you cannot afford to drive or even walk fast,,,,
Vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to network and vehicle to everything is what is coming. Your vehicles will be sending out live data of your speed position and vehicle health. All new cars at the moment must have road sign recognition, the plan is it have tge cars recognise signs to adjust vehicle speed, ar first you may be able to overide the speed limit but that will change and you will no longer be able to. The vehicle to vehicle network will allow cars to talk to each other so your car will automatically slow for other vehicles
Never heard such bollox in all my life.
Euro 7 isn’t due to 2028/9 there’s updates in 2025 and there’s variants every year until the Euro 7..
The new EV updates are coming with a new terms and Conditions apparently which already states they can remotely restrict your speed and all sorts.REMOTELY.But you don't have to consent to it.Just read t&Cs.No one does usuallly
It's here.
Let’s hope they also charge councils pot hole tax.
Lol, they'll all give each other a pay rise
I kindly disagree, EVs use regenerative braking all the time, friction brakes only on hard braking or emergency.
They use so little these brakes that you find original factory brake pads and discs after 150K km...
Weight is 30-50% more, not double.
There will be research in reducing tyre dust and once these tyres will be available everyone can upgrade.
I believe we just need a road tax with a black box that measure the distance. More usage, higher wear and tear on roads, higher tax.
I am confused. I thought we left the EU so why are we having comply with EU regs.
● What A Load Of S*** ●
There Will Be A Tax For Walking & Farting Next.
