The first strong argument I've seen in favor of Brexit

I know this has already been discussed, but apparently they’ve already voted on it

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I feel like this is going to get strongly softened prior to implementation, and will be a hot topic for defeating with after market ECU tuning.

I can’t wait for Brexit.

Not only because I am a horrible person who just wants to watch the world burn, but am also excited to see how Svend’s pretty new car looks as a post-apocalypse battle wagon.

Invest in stocks after the Brexit plunge, knowing that they will bounce back to normalcy once the hysteria subsides.

As noted in the previous discussion:

This passed a committee, it hasn’t been approved by the main body (as far as I can see)

This is not a traditional limiter. It would only limit you to the speed limit, so it wouldn’t limit cars on unlimited segments of the Autobahn for example.

It is overridable. Granted the ETSC would like to eventually not have the option to turn it off (though retain the ability to temporarily disable it for emergency situations), but the plan would be for new cars to have the option to shut it off, at least for passenger cars. There seems to be much more support for having it be always on for buses and trucks.

Given that it’s quite possible Brexit eviscerates the British auto industry, they might end up with these anyway.

Bear in mind that trucks and buses have had “hard” limiters for many years at 90 and 100 kmh respectively. They’re only talking about vehicles not already fitted.

Right, but since these are smart limiters, they can apply in a much broader set of scenarios. That hard limiter is only going to function on the highway, whereas this tech would force compliance with whatever the local limit is.

Yes, there is that. The problem with a hard limiter is that can encourage people to drive up to it all the time.

If it is a hard no deal, normalcy will be a while(months to years)

True. You make it out like a bandit in 5 years though.

I would also pick multinational E uropean companies that have some UK sales/operations (but not total reliance on UK ) , and are otherwise sound blue chip investments.

In the event of a no deal, that is a risky assumption they can get back to normalacy. The pound will take a massive hit, and a lot of companies are looking to leave to Ireland, Low counties,

Brexit will result in nothing more than a mere blip!
