Interesting (http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/default.asp?storyId=18237), but how long til we see the defence of "sorry m'lud, but the car didn't see the speed sign" lol

This made me chuckle:

‘These new features follow Vauxhall’s philosophy of enhancing driving excitement by assisting drivers without reducing their level of control,’ said Hans Demant, Managing Director of GME Engineering.
If he finds that exciting, I dread to think what he gets up to at the weekends.

If it had the option to enforce said speed limits, to prevent accidental speeding, that would be cool.

It doesnt 'enforce' anything, it just flashes the speed limit onto the dash in case you missed it. Good idea if you ask me :)

I know, my point was, that if there was a button on the dash, that made the car limit its speed to the one shown on the dash by that system, it would be much better :).
