There’s gotta be a “subscription fee” for these speed limiters for every month they’re installed foe the offender. Fees to install them. Fees to remove them. Fees for the convenience of the ability to make electronic payments. Then there’s the fine for speeding in the first place, the convenience fees to pay the fine, the fee for the traffic safety course online to avoid higher insurance rates, etc.
The State is being enshittified by privatization. It’s not as if the State isn’t difficult enough to deal with on its own, but now the layers of shitty middle men existing to extract tolls for every interaction is growing.
Edit: after looking around I found this program is called “Intelligent Speed Assistance” (ISA).

Speed limiters should be standard on all cars, like seat-belts. They should be retrofitted on older cars. A GPS module isn’t that expensive. They are found in cheap phones that cost less than $50. Most cars on the road today have an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) The air and fuel mixture can be controlled to keep the car under a specific speed, easily. There is no reason a car needs to go 70 mph ever. 25 should be the top speed.
@RememberTheApollo_ Driving fast enough to kill a human or an animal instantly if you hit them, is no different than randomly firing your gun down the street blindfolded. You may not plan on killing a specific person and maybe you won’t hit anything at all, but it shouldn’t be allowed.

Looks like it’s far more widespread than anyone thinks.

That’s certainly an opinion.
