New models of cars sold in Europe in 2022 will have to have speed limiting technology under a measure approved by the EC and due to be agreed by the European Parliament and member states in September.

The technology uses GPS signals to detect speed limits, detect speeding cars and slow them down.

All in all the EC has mandated 15 safety features to be be installed in 2022 cars, including drowsiness detection, lane discipline assist, accident black boxes, automatic braking if a pedestrian steps in front of a car or if the car in front brakes suddenly,  bigger windscreen and side windows on HGVs and buses to detect cyclists, and an alcohol lock if the driver’s been drinking.

The changes will be applied to all new models of cars by 2022. 

New versions of existing cars will be fitted with the technology from 2024.

The measures will apply to the UK after Brexit as we have agreed to align our motoring regulations with the EU’s regulations.
