EU is in the driving seat
AT the EU department for crazy ideas they're drawing up a scheme that would see all new cars fitted with devices which will slam on the brakes if cars exceed the speed limit even briefly.
It is supposed to be a traffic safety measure but all drivers know that sudden braking can be extremely unsafe.
Said an AA spokesperson: "If you were overtaking a tractor and suddenly needed to accelerate to avoid a head-on collision the new technology could actually create dangers."
And how depressing to find that your car is now controlled by Brussels along with everything else.
