All new vehicles sold in Europe – including Northern Ireland but not Great Britain – will be required from now on to have intelligent speed assistance technology installed.
France loves to put the camera at the bottom of a hill, just after a speed reduction… Honestly the way it currently works feels like it’s adding more danger than anything. I drive at/below the speed limit always but you see everyone’s behaviour changing before the cameras in ways that don’t always seem safe.
I’ve seen Norway master this technique. Top of the hill: 90. Sloping downwards, getting steeper and steeper (like, super steep). Almost near the bottom: 70, 5 meters further a speed cam. And those slopes are no joke. You need to clear your ears, they are that high. By the way, those 70 signs aren’t visible from far, due to the terrain and greenery. It’s already hard staying at 90 with constant braking. So it’s a new set of break pads after every step hill.
This wasn’t just once, I’ve seen it many times during my holidays there, spread throughout the country.
