In a few years it will be taken out of everyone's hands anyway.
The EU are apparently well down the path of doing what they do best - issuing directives which everyone is compelled to obey
This time is on speed limiters - we await an EU parliament full vote later this month on it.
The proposals are:
In three years time all new cars to be fitted with black boxes recording your every move plus also lane assist and the important one: speed limiters slaved to the GPS determined speed limit in force on the road at the time. OK you can override it - recorded by the black box of course for direct download to DVLA later and an automatic speeding fine though the post......

where did you get this 'information'? Down the pub?

Sigh
A quick Google would tell you about the proposals from multiple sources
But since you cannot be bothered - just for you; here is one of them from the RAC themselves

You're forgetting that if the lunatics get their way we won't be in the EU by then.

Not until there's a change to the current law.

Struth. I can't imagine ever buying a car with one of those gadgets. I guess old cars will suddenly become more valuable.
