California bill would require new cars to beep at speeding drivers

Yank out all those traffic light cameras and let them EARN their "revenue", the good old fashioned way.🤓

i guess the red mark below the speedo needle is the warning?

Most people in my city drive 5-10 Mph over the speed limit. and traffic enforcement is slim to none. So there’s no incentive to drive the speed limit.
I can’t even imagine the pushback and outcry over this given that MOST people speed, I think people will find a way to disable or silence this feature.

Yeah you can see the dividing line between the central portion of the LCD cluster and the upper portion where the indicator lights (and most of the speedo/tach ring) are, at ~132 mph and ~1300 rpm.

Speeding laws is all nonsense.
Never worked and never will.
Having 50mph speed limits that haven’t changed in 50+ years while cars have performance that has significantly improved is comical.
Hell - NYC is lowering speed limit from 25mph to 20mph and on some streets to 10mph. The revenue from speeding cameras is not generating enough returns at current 25mph levels……

The article states that the warnings will be both visual and audible. I think most cars already do the visual part, I know all of mine do. I just ignore it. The audible part would be annoying but the article states that it goes off at 10mph over the speed limit, so it's not like it would be going off when you go 61 mph in a 60 mph zone.
It'll be interesting to see if this passes or not. I suspect it will.

Correct, it will draw that red line from the speed limit up to whatever your speed is. I'm doing 80 in a 65 here.
