A new EU driving rule will come into force for new cars made from today. It will now be mandatory for cars sold across the EU to be fitted with speed limiters.
These limiters use Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology which warns drivers to slow down by using a mix of vibrations or sounds if they go above the speed limit.
