Rejected petition Stop drivers going over the maximum speed limit permanently

More details

There is much controversy about maximum speed limits however if the government governed all cars in the UK so that they could not exceed the maximum speed limit this would reduce a huge percentage of accidents. Lorries are already governed hence why not do the same for cars?
