Now it appears the state is about to put a new law on the books that will mandate speed limiters on the cars of those convicted of reckless driving, or who have too many demerits on their driving license.
Intelligent speed limiters are nothing new, though Virginia would be the first state to enforce them on those with a habit for speed.
A similar bill is before Washington State's House Transportation Committee—Washington law considers speeds of 20 mph or higher over posted limits as excessive speed—and
another one in California was vetoed by Gov. Gavin Newsom just last fall. Meanwhile, a form of speed limiter is mandatory on new vehicles sold in the EU.
