And then when you need to accelerate to avoid an accident, there's not enough power and BLAMMO! Slow cars are dangerous cars.
Just chiming in to say I see your point. Slower cars allow for more reaction time, and therefore safer reactions.
if that was the law how would you enforce it in any meaningful way? People would overide/not have them.
Well we'd just force them! How!!?! Mechanically minded people mod cars everyday. Then police would have more reason to F with everyone at their pleasure. You would for sure need more surveillance from the state. Probably need more expensive proprietary anti-consumer tech inside the car you own.
Do you know why I pulled you over? Your car transponder isn't transmitting properly.
Do you see what you want unleashed?
