Jon York, fleet manager for the company said the system had reduced road accidents by company drivers.

He told the BBC: 'We believe that the system should be a voluntary system, that the drivers decide if they have fitted to their car or not, and that they decide if they want to over-ride the speed limit - that should be their choice.'īritish Gas has already introduced the technology for its vans - limiting them to 70mph. John Lewis, from the Motorists' Forum, said he believed the devices would help drivers obey limits and therefore hold onto their licences. He said: 'The last thing you need is one car to be overtaking and then pull back in, in front of the cars in front, because that braking event will then cause everybody to start to slow down, which will then compress the traffic, which then causes an incident.'Īlthough neither CfIT nor the Motorists' Forum is recommending the compulsory fitting or usage of ISA they both want the Department for Transport to make the technology available and encourage drivers to use it.
It found that on 70mph roads, keeping to the speed limit could lead to savings of up to 6 per cent in CO2 emissions. The study also looked at how the devices would help fuel consumption, emissions, noise and ease traffic on the roads. The Commission for Integrated Transport (CfIT) and the Motorists' Forum published a report yesterday which called for the voluntary introduction of the devices - called intelligent speed adaption (ISA). The speed-limiting technology could prevent up to 29 per cent of road accidents which cause injuries.īut campaigners believe the devices are dangerous because they lull drivers into a 'zombie mode'. The device then uses satellite positioning to check if a vehicle is breaking the speed limit and will automatically slow a car down and apply the brakes if necessary. Ministers are planning to help councils draw up digital maps with details of the legal speed on every road. Cars should be fitted with speed-limiters to help prevent accidents, claim government advisersĬars should be fitted with speed-limiters to help prevent accidents and cut carbon emissions, claim government advisers.
