You are going to have to explain how this would work to me.

And are you suggesting if the speedo didn't go past 110kmph, then you would never go faster than that speed?

My logic would be that if speedos stopped at 110kmph you wouldn't know how fast you were going. Then you would want to blame the manufacturer.
This thread is going places.
You can't blame someone else for your own stupidity. It wouldn't be called "your own stupidity" if it wasn't your own.

And if the government brought in legislation to speed limit cars to 110 you would be bitching as well

Bit of a no win situation

And don't give the Idiots that were voted in any more stupid Ideas

Japan already limits domestic cars to 180 km/h (bit academic really) and the technology already exists for speed limiting to be implemented

Seriously...

So it's not YOUR fault when "YOUR" foot presses the accelerator/gas pedal to the floor and the vehicle goes "200kms/s or more"(WTF, 200km/s is 200km/sec or 12000km/min or 720000km/hour) - what car do you have?????

School Holidays are so much fun.... bring out your your trolls.

If a car manufacturer produces a car that will not go faster than 110kph, are you going to drive up to that limit most times? If so that means when you are in a 60 zone you will be speeding, will you blame the manufacturer?

While on this subject, why do pubs hold more alcohol than you can drink, MacDonald's more burgers than you can consume. Do you eat and drink till you are violently ill then blame the person serving you?

Here's a few more....
Why does the hot water system heat the water hotter than you need it? The fridge, able to get colder than you need? The oven, able to get hotter than you need? Same as a car's ability to go faster than the limit. Because it's an option. If you want to exceed that option, that's up to you.
But as the saying goes...."you'll get you fingers burnt". (or frozen) as the case may be.
