Reuters reports that the British government is considering a law that requires all motorcycles to be fitted with a speed limiter preventing them from being ridden "too fast"...

Electronic speed limiters, already fitted on some scooters and high-performance bikes, could be required by law if the government adopts the committee's ideas.

Giving evidence to the committee, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said it saw no need for motorbikes that can comfortably exceed the 70 mph limit twice over.

The charity suggested that engine size be limited to 125cc.

125cc? Thank goodness this it was a just charity that made that recommendation. Sounds like someone in Britain wants their country to move around like Vietnam.
