EU driving law set to launch in the UK could lead to ‘more accidents’ and ‘zombie drivers’

The new driving law will see new Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) limiters launched across Europe from July 2022 with the UK expected to follow suit despite already leaving the EU. The technology uses sign recognition cameras and GPS tools to detect legal limits.

“When people have little to do when driving, their minds will wander. That is human nature.

“We risk creating a generation of zombie drivers who do not pay attention to the road and that could mean more accidents, not less.

“Now that we are out, we should not just blindly follow the EU’s rules.

“At a minimum, we should wait and see how the experiment works out in the EU and then make a decision based on facts rather than just good intentions.”
