well nowWhat's the black box supposed to do?
It's BLACK so def evil.
It's a box so it's got to contain something interesting.
So? A box with something evil in it?

Like gondoliers?I'll be the first to admit that car ownership is getting out of control. I was wondering if you could have a system whereby the number of drivers is kept to a fixed limit & then, you could only get a licence when another driver either revokes theirs or passes away.
A man for whom the height of a weekend is several hours in Wetherspoons does not have an opinion worth noting.May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the nether regions of all who actually WANT to impose obedience, authority, conformance, surveillance etc on others! (Apart from when I agree with it natch).
If it were up to me I would ban all speed cameras and rip them all out, along with ANPR cameras.
Then I'd ban golf
Have you no self awareness?I do think things have gone too far and we need to reprioritise.
It is quite astonishing how much money people spend on cars (and then how keen they are to spend as little time in them as possible by driving as fast as possible). Some of the cost of the vehicles and the infrastructure could surely be better spent.
I was down in Dorset week or two back and was struck by how much more courteous the driving was there. There were a lot fewer Chelsea tractors and most cars were older than here in Leeds. The boy racers there were actually boy racers, not mid life crisis men in £1m cars with silly exhaust noises like round here.
It made for a much more pleasant driving experience.
Maybe we need a horsepower tax instead of black boxes?
There are millions of people who have no bus services.Ban SUV's etc first of all then ban second cars then make public transport free. In fact lock em up! SUV owners that is! And bring back capital punishment for Range Rover Vogue owners! Crucifixions too good for 'em!
Strangely, I manage to drive like that without a black box. Who knew it was possible?One of our cars has a black box. In many ways it is quite relaxing to drive - there is no option but to obey speed limits. The roads actually seem less congested when you don't drive on the bumper of the car in front! Journey times are unaffected.
The only stress comes from the odd tosser who flashes his lights at you because you are travelling at the speed limit.
They already do. 155mph.I thought that cars were going to all have speed limiters fitted soon anyway.

Just another way to keep tabs on plebs, it’s becoming virtually impossible to live off grid nowadays, big brother is watching, listening, and reading my Mail.
The if you’ve got nothing to hide why worry attitude is fine till the they knock on your door!
But they’ve conned people into being constantly monitored via insurance apps, be fit, drive safe,save money, big brother.

Good idea, but why not go all the way and place an RPG launcher on every corner to deal with all those small misdemeanours…. like driving!For:
The roads are getting ever more congested and contested.
Modern cars are just too fast for their purpose. And they are getting bigger.
There seems to be a lot of dangerous "leisure" driving going on.
Pollution is a big problem.
"The car is King" needs to be changed
Against:
Civil liberty
I think it's time.

How much have you spent on your “stereo”?
