Default The Future?
Sure, but couple it with a carrot. 29% means nothing to people, they never believe they will be in an accident. I heard about this invention, where the driving computer regulates your speed, within the limits, so that you will hit a green light more often... Couple it with that.

Nein, I meant the Belgian freeway. My bad!

Speed limiting devices on cars are a disaster.

If the traffic conditions favour it I don't see why there should be speed limits at all. Of course that would mean people using their own judgment and sense, but we couldn't have that now could we?

This will just create an incentive for teens to hack the device and show off that they did so by over-taking everyone - causing an accident.

I have a better idea; get rid of cars. So many problems solved.
