You are too young to be careful

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

In recent years, the statistics for young drivers crashing and killing or injuring themselves has been horrifying.


Ford’s new box of tricks will hopefully stop this

Putting a car in the hands of a 17 year old is like giving them a weapon, and parents are faced with the horrific prospect of hoping their child doesn’t end up crashing. But now, Ford have come up with something that will at least help slow down the kids.

It may hurt young rights, but parents can, amongst others, limit the car’s top speed and make sure the music is down to an acceptable level (although I’d hope there was a taste button as well, so the music isn’t so rubbish).


Unfortunately Ford can’t alter bad taste

A great idea; how long will the limiter be used on all cars, so to stop people speeding along high-risk roads?
