I agree with the last paragraph.

[ec437]

you know what I would do if my car had one of those? I would speed ALL THE TIME just to show that they can't stop me

[xviciousx]

That's a bunch of bull shit. I'd buy used cars for my whole life. Rebuild the engine and the chassis. What the fuck happened to being American and free to do stupid shit? That's what it's all about. Doing stupid shit! I've based my life around it thus far and that's why I'm proud to be an American because I'M PROUD TO BE ABLE TO DO STUPID SHIT!!!!!!!!!

[RSX-S777]

I suppose I would be for the black box if a family member was ever killed by some dumbshit and it was used to convict him. But I understand the dilemma here.

Yeah no kidding!!! I've based my life around being stupid too...but this does really mean we can't still be stupid it just means it's easier for them to catch us being stupid. Now if they put rev limiters on the car at 3000 RPMs and speed governers at 65 that would prevent us from doing some stupid shit.

I'll just rip it out and recirculate the feedback to the computer

[sivic02]

exactly, if a car has one im sure it wouldnt be too long before someone found a way to remove it without getting any errors or anything...so it might just take a little more effort to be free to drive like a jackass lol

yeah no shit, thats just fucking wrong. If someone wants one of those boxes on THEIR car thats fine, but my cars ain't gonna have them. Might as well move to Cuba with that type of shit.

And I think would move out of the country if they put speed governors on my car and rev limiters. NO freakin way would i be able to dealw ith that at all. America was built for freedom of choice and shit like that limits your freedom of CHOICE. That just pisses me off.

Its my choice if I wanna drive like a jackass anyway and I'd still find ways to do it. There are ways to still piss people off on the road and drive like an idiot out of hell.

What these morons need to be doing is finding ways to get more uninsured motorists off the roads or get them get insurance. I've been hit twice by drivers with no license and no insurance. And so my insurance company has ate over $10,000 in 3yrs because of those assholes with no insurance driving around. They are still being pursued but they won't ever pay my insurance company back. And its because of jerks like them we all pay higher insurance rates. So thats what these people who obviously have time to spare need to be working on. Not stupid black boxes.

[ThatRoundHeadedKid]

Some may argue, like some have here, that it is not right to put these "black boxes" into cars, because it invades privacy and certain driving rights.

**Ain't taking sides here....

but that's the whole point, to prevent stupidity on the roads. It's supposed to prevent stupid and careless/wreckless drivers on the road from injuring people like you and I.

[FairyDust]

dude those boxes aren't going to stop people from doing stupid shit. It'll just be recorded that they did stupid shit. The accident will still happen. If those morons that hit my cars had black boxes it wouldn't have prevented it, they still would've hit me with no licenses and no insurance.

[sivic02]

id like to take a car with like one person said rev limit of 3000 and 65mpg governor to the track...that would make saturday nights more interesting lol

[Mediocrity]

I guess they forget we have accident recreationalists and traffic cops.

Oh thats right, they dont care who loses their job.
