limiting cars to 100 doesn't really achieve much, very few accidents happen at over 100, and in the few cases they do, chances are it's fatal, wouldn't make me feel much better knowing that i'm being limited to something above the fatal speed, what does that achieve, a bit less mess for the highway maintenance guys to clear up?

The problem with GPS limiting cars to lower speeds, is if you pull out of a junction without looking properly first or any other similar situation, like someone pulls out to overtake at the same time as you on a 3 lane road when they shouldn't and you need to put your foot down to avoid an accident, the gps limiter/100mph limiter kicks in and causes rather than stops an accident. Rare occurances maybe, a gps limiter would save more lives than it killed probably. But why do we have to constantly encounter limits and restrictions on us, does it stop before we're told what to eat each day, when and how, and then when to sleep?
