    Shit pretty much already exists in the UK. The car knows exactly what the speed limit is on every part of every road and if you exceed it by more than even 3 mph, it starts beeping at you. Go more than that and it gets even louder.

      If my car ever has a device like that, I’m removing it pretty much immediately. I don’t even excessively speed, but I hate stupid distracting noises that I know will happen even under fairly normal use.

      That honestly sounds terrible. I don’t like speeders (even as someone with a bit of a lead foot of my own), but that sounds like hell.

      Like I’m just imagining trying to drive down the highway and getting constant beeps because I dared to go even 5 over.

      I’d make the threshold 5 over surface streets, and 10 over highway speeds at most.
