Volvo to impose speed limit on all cars.

Don't know how true this is, but if one manufacturer start rest may follow.

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

Fitting speed limiters to save lives is fine, but setting it to 112mph won't save lives. Most people never go that fast anyway, and at 112mph you're going to dead anyway. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Yes, would have made more sense around 85 (+/- 5) mph. 112 is pointless. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

There are probably still people who believe you can't breathe if a train goes faster than 40 mph

The article I read said that coming into different speed limits, would automatically adjust the speed of the car to that limit. Steve.

That's what's proposed for over here in 2021 - either recognising speed limit signs or a GPS database.
