If passed, a California bill would force new vehicles to send out visual and auditory alerts every time a driver goes 10 mph past a speed limit.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Especially on Fridays afternoon "rush hour(s)." Sometimes took me over 4hrs to get from Ft Meade to my house just west of Hagerstown. It was a long commute regardless of the time but Fridays were hell

MSG Billy Brumfield - Yuck. Don't miss that commute one bit! I did the Ft. Belvoir to Ft. Meade commute for about two years ... every day ... around 50% of the entire beltway. Only once broke the 4-hour mark on the evening commute though (overturned tanker truck screwed EVERYTHING up).

Lt Col Charlie Brown More government bull$hit. How does the car know you are speeding in any specific zone and who is going to make the changes to the software when they decided to change the speed limit in a certain area? OH, GPS so they can track your every move. Around here they changed the speed limit on the highway from 65 to 55 but GPS still says 65 us the speed limit.

My new trucks show the posted speed limit at the 2 o'clock position of the speedometer, digital of course. It's pretty accurate but of course it's not always correct. It's freakin' Orwellian!

If I was designing it there'd be a camera/scanner whose sole job is to see the current/last posted speed limit.
Personally I'd have taken the overall system a step further and have it communicate with the rest of the car to prevent the driver from going past said speed limit; no matter how far or hard the driver pushes the gas pedal. It's a limit; meaning up to.
I've been more than tired at drivers who treat speed limits as speed minimums and think deliberately disobeying them will make the government either remove the signs or post triple digits everywhere.
