The introduction/promotion of Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) is claimed to be able to help reduce the number of accidents involving injury by up to 29%.
Or so the Government says!
This apparent relentless over-regulation of drivers and road users ignores the fact that driving continues to be safe as long as drivers behave sensibly and responsibly by sticking to the applicable speed limits and of course, making an allowance for the prevailing driving and road conditions.
Most drivers do indeed adhere to road regulations, the Highway code and the Road Traffic Act so is it really necessary for the Government and car manufacturers to be considering fitting ISA as standard to new vehicles.
There is some question surrounding the data used to support the 29% potential reduction suggested. It is suggested that 17% of those fatal accidents reported indicated the vehicle involved was driving at excessive speed considering the road conditions at the time – they were not however breaking the speed limit.
An ISA would not have made any difference in those circumstances.
Perhaps, an alternative would be for courts to insist that certain drivers prosecuted for speeding should only be allowed to drive vehicles fitted with an ISA unit for the period the conviction remains on their licence.
