Would you accept a device in your vehicle that prevented you from exceeding the speed limit? The U.K. Department for Transport (DfT) has released a report that explores intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) in terms of driver behavior, costs, and benefits, and other issues. According to the DfT, ISA is an in-vehicle system that provides information on the speed limit for the road currently being travelled on. That information can be used to display the current speed limit inside the vehicle, warn the driver when he or she is speeding, or automatically apply the vehicle's brakes.

ISA

This unit should be used for all learning and new drivers.

In Scotland they considering a pilot program in order to cut down the carnage on the roads in the North East.
This community lost 2 young people last weekend and caused severe injuries to another due in part to excessive speed. The cost for using this unit would cut the cost in health care due to road accidents caused by speed.
