Speed limiters to be fitted on all new cars: is this the end for danger drivers?

123RF All new vehicles sold in Europe will be fitted with a speed limiter as a legal requirement from 6th July 2022. EU legislation The UK is set to fall in line with the EU legislation despite leaving the union.

The devices will be able to recognise when a speed limit changes and stop a car breaking the law. Officials say the technology could make breaking speed limits a thing of the past. Intelligent Speed Assistance systems Intelligent Speed Assistance systems use either a video or a GPS-linked system to detect speed signs.

Sextortion

The attackers use this claim of a recording to blackmail the victim into paying the attacker. Threatens The attacker threatens to send the recording to the victim’s contacts, friends, and family if they don’t comply. The attacker doesn’t own any recordings and just uses social engineering techniques to try to scare and shame the potential victim into paying. How does sextortion work? Sextortion relies on people’s willingness to pay money in order to keep damaging secrets quiet. In a potential victim’s view, thi...

Benefits for pensioners that you should be receiving
