Travelling down the A45 in a 60 mph zone just before Birmingham Airport there is a slip road which had 40 mph signs up.
The automatic speed limiter in my car saw the 40 mile power speed sign on the slip road and applied the brakes immediately slowing me down from 60 to 40 causing panic to the car behind me and almost causing a rear end collision.
I was continuing on the A45, so the speed limit did not apply but the car could not tell the difference. If the government insists on implementing EU regulations that states all cars must have automatic speed limiting systems then those systems need to be fit for purpose.
Unfortunately, the system in the ZS is far from fit for purpose.
