TP limiting speedo to 90km/hr

[Liping24]

I heard from my crazy fren that all cars will only be allowed into singapore if they convert the speedo to show only max 90km/hr. The electronic engine cut will also limit the car speed to max 90km/hr.

It was said that Japan has already limit their car speed to max 180km/hr and Germany car co voluntarily limit their super cars to max 280km/hr for safety reasons.

In Singapore there are no super highway that justify a much higher speed than 90km/hr.

So for the safety sake, it was suggested that all cars for Singapore market be electronic limited to 90km/hr.

This way, TP will no longer need to be deployed on overhead bridge to catch speeders. All car owners will feel safe that they will not exceed the speed limit and no need to watch out for police. So this will make the driving experience a safe and unstress one!

Not sure how big is Singapore market but asking a car manufacturer to make something so "sophisticated" and limit them to Singapore only, sounds like a big cost to me. And what about cars going to Malaysia? Drive at 90kmph and hog on 1st lane? (judging from local driving attitude)

 

JOKES OF THE DAY.

Like that, all Singapore cars cannot make it up north. The kancil will overtake us any time man.

[Galantspeedz]

Eh.... even now their kancil can overtake us anytime

[Tony76]

SG is too small a market for car manufacturers to make a speedo like tat.

[Chanant]
