Gann Files Bill to Protect Oklahomans from Overreaching ‘Road User Charge’ Plan
OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Tom Gann, R-Inola, has filed what he called “a pivotal bill aimed at safeguarding Oklahomans’ freedom and privacy.”
House Bill 2970 comes in response to what Gann termed are growing concerns over the Oklahoma Road User Charge (RUC) Task Force’s controversial “Road User Charge” proposal.
“Under their Orwellian proposed plan, Oklahomans would be monitored on every mile they drive, and pay a tax for each of these miles,” Gann said.
He said he believes this could lead to excessive government control over personal travel and play, and that he is echoing the worries that many citizens have expressed. He sees the proposal as unfairly penalizing motorists, especially those in rural areas of the state who do not have alternative options for commuting.
“It’s quite inconceivable to me that in the near future, motorists might face variable-rate, per-mile fees for driving beyond a government-approved limit,” Gann said, highlighting his concerns about the recommendations’ potential to put government in charge of every motorist’s driven mile.
Gann also raised alarm over the suggested requirement for surveillance infrastructure to track mileage. He said he fears this system could be exploited by state and federal authorities for various oppressive purposes, including targeting individuals with differing political views.
Gann said the first stage of the Oklahoma version of the Road User Charge plan – a pilot program and a task force established in 2021 by House Bill 1712– is already in motion. He said the next phase – voluntary participation – has been recommended by the task force for legislative consideration in 2025.
He said he believes a third phase – mandatory participation – may soon follow. He said he bases this observation on Oregon’s version of the plan, where that state initially created a volunteer plan, but discussion in their Legislature has since turned to mandating participation.
Gann’s bill seeks to repeal House Bill 1712, halting any future advancement of this initiative.
Gann, who voted against House Bill 1712 in 2021, said he believes the bills implications were not fully understood.
“House Bill 2970 is about reassuring Oklahomans that their Legislature won’t enforce a socialist, Orwellian green agenda and a surveillance state here,” Gann said. “This is also a chance for the Legislature to correct its course, realize its mistake and repeal House Bill 1712.”
Gann said he also intends to update his bill in committee to withdraw Oklahoma’s membership from the Western Road Usage Charge Consortium, in opposition to that organization’s efforts to promote the road user charge system in Oklahoma and other states.
“House Bill 2970 represents a crucial step in protecting the rights and privacy of Oklahomans and ensuring government policies reflect the will of the majority of the people,” Gann said.

Here is a post I found on FB:
This is a map of our National Trail System. It is an interactive map. You can find the link at the bottom of this post.
What is not shown on this map is all of the proposed National Trails. I know of 5 trail proposals for Texas. 2 for Oklahoma and 4 more for Kansas.
When all of the country is frozen in National Park Service Units such as National Trails, then what? What happens to the economy that is frozen and preserved in time? What happens to our food production and transportation? How large of a burden will we have through the taxes that are dedicated to preservation? How much preservation can we afford?

https://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?projectID=95651
Finding the links for these, I just found another one for Texas. That makes 5 more proposals for TX instead of 4.
https://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?projectID=30803
And the Cherokee Trail which is an expansion of the Oregon and California Trail: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?projectId=31277
You will notice that it is a different route than what is noted by historians here: https://cherokeetrail.org/KS_Trrail/map_page.htm
And some replies to this post:
As much of a concern as these historic trails are, I’m more concerned about the network of new trails that are being created under eco-tourism. Little concern is had for private property owners who’s land is bisected by these trails. No concern was shown locally when farmers expressed their opposition due to the risks arising from people traversing these trails and the threats to their property that were posed. Trespassing, thefts, litter. The list goes on and on. Who pays for the loss of a standing crop when a hiker inadvertently starts a fire? Who is responsible when a hiker is exposed to freshly applied ag chemicals? Insurance costs are based off risk and farmers are left to cover those costs. Is that right or fair?
we have been involved in a lawsuit for over 20 plus years on one of these trials. Essentially as a landowner you are stuck with it and have to deal with it according to local officials and the courts. We are trying everything we can. In the appeals courts, the state Supreme Court, and even trying to take it to the federal level. This all stems from a federal law back in 1984 and 1986 that deals with rail banking. Essentially it allowed rail road easements to be used as walking trails. We literally have a judge right now seeking punitive damages against a landowner for trespassing on his land which is in an easement that he is the fee simple landowner.
Trails are set up just like a highway system. You have federal, state Rail to Trails, ect. ect. ect.
They are all tied together. One ties into the other, just like our roadway system.
One is not “more concerning” than the other. They are equally concerning.
MAP21 and now Safe Passages to Schools and other similar legislation passed by Congress, funds the building of all of these trails all over the country.
Just to be clear — they are all already funded in their entirety. That money is earmarked in state and federal Department of Transportation accounts.
What is not funded, or only partially funded based on implementation of new trails and trail expansions, is maintenance. The local municipality has been getting stuck with that bill.
All of which — is part of the Buffalo Commons Plan — now rebranded as 30×30.
That plan calls for the elimination of agriculture production and industry in the plains states and replacing that economy with energy production and tourism.
It’s no accident that all these Metropolitan Planning Organizations, such as MARC have transportation committees.
Kansas does have 2 bills up for consideration:
https://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2023_24/measures/sb370/
And
https://www.kslegislature.com/li/b2023_24/measures/hb2476/
so as it is now, Governor Kelly can push this forward WITHOUT going through State’s legislature if these bills DON’T pass?
Excellent question! Congress makes these designations, not the state.
This legislation would require that state legislators vote on any designation.
If they fail to gain the legislative majority, then no state funding can go to that designation.
This will help force the NPS and their special interest partners to follow the federal law. Those laws require them to be supported and wanted by the people and off the taxpayers budget within 15 years.
Currently, most people and legislators do not know these boundaries exist. NHAs for example, apply for state funding through state DOT and Parks and Wildlife/tourism grants and then get federal matching grants.
So far, not one NHA has ever become self-sufficient and all of them just got renewed for another 15 years.
I hope it’s a stand alone vote on these bills, not bundled with the usual BS PORK!
I thought this Natural Heritage stuff was killed by the counties or is this something new ?
something new.
This is legislation I wrote. To keep them from coming in without the people knowing or being consulted.
Here is a post from someone from Kansas:
The bad news:
The District Chairs stacked the deck with alternates who would object to everything, stretching the state GOP meeting to prevent resolutions from being introduced.
They successfully killed the Resolution objecting to 30×30.

Here is a post shared by a friend of mine:
While you were hot, with the nights being up to 30c, 100% humidity, and days around 35 > 38 with 95% humidity and no wind – so, quite oppressive ok, your sneaky power supplier (if you were one who took advantage of that $400.00 rebate for them to stick one of those meter things in your house, Energex practiced their rights and TURNED DOWN THE AIRCON REMOTELY ON 170,000 people’s homes, without notice, 6 times in a month.
Doesn’t affect you? You didn’t sign up to this deal, well, that’s because the tech is not in place yet, but they’re coming for you, your smart meters and trackable stuff and wait until ESG bites you – you go to buy something to find that you used that aircon just a wee bit too much, nothing for you to buy. This is the insidious connection big tech makes on your big data.
You are just a number to them actually 2 numbers 0 and 1. 😉
I remember reading in 2014 that air conditioners were not allowed to be imported into AU unless they had some remote tethering. I used to tell people this and they thought – what a conspiracy nut. Why would the government do this… I dunno, what do you reckon.
Here’s some of what it says<< Queensland’s state-owned power grid remotely turned down almost 170,000 air conditioners six times in the past two months as part of a scheme to protect the electricity network. Key points: Energex and Ergon can remotely turn down air conditioners People signed up to the PeakSmart program have a small device installed on their unit for a cash rebate Some mechanics have raised concerns about the devices, and the way they can be controlled Some installers said they were wary of the PeakSmart scheme, which was introduced by the Newman government in 2012, because the guidelines regarding air-con control were not clear. Energex and Ergon access air conditioners through PeakSmart meters, which are controlled via power lines, usually in return for access to a cash rebate of up to $400. The goal of the meters is to reduce pressure on the network at peak times, often on hot days. “The signal tells the air conditioner to drop into an energy efficient mode, similar to an economy setting,” an Energy Queensland spokesman said. “The fan keeps running but cycles the compressor down 50 per cent. “The technology is designed to be ‘set and forget’, so you won’t have to do anything, nor should you notice any significant difference to your comfort.” A person’s thumb on a button on an air-conditioner remote. Energex and Ergon can remotely limit units during periods of high power demand.(ABC News: Conor Byrne) Signing up to the government scheme also allows Energex or Ergon staff to visit properties occasionally. Residents or workers are given five days’ notice. Users are not told when their unit is affected, but installers and repairers are given notice in case customers report what they think is a malfunction. Renters or new property owners may not realise their units are fitted with the device. Multiple installers contacted by the ABC said they were wary about the meters and the potential for the government and energy providers to control an appliance in the home. An Energex sign on a wooden fence. Energex does not inform people when their air conditioners are limited, but says most people do not notice the change.(ABC News: Curtis Rodda) ‘Just doesn’t make sense’ Todd Christie, the owner of Sunshine Coast business Salty Air, said he urged clients to think twice about having a PeakSmart meter installed, because it meant Ergon or Energex could take control of their units on the hottest days of the year. “It just doesn’t make sense — to what extent [is it controlled] and how often do they use it?” he said. “It’s just not really worth the risk of wiring that up when you want to obviously put an air-con in for those hot days when you need it. “Just from that advice, nobody I’ve ever installed [for] has ever said ‘I still want to do it.'” YouTube How does PeakSmart work? Ergon and Energex said PeakSmart limiting should only occur “a few times” per year. There have been six events since December 1 and nine in the last year — the highest rate since the program began. On Monday and Saturday last week, Energex used its remote access to limit 169,490 air conditioners to run at 50 per cent power between 4:20pm and 6:50pm across the south-east. The energy network of the future Instead of building expensive new power stations, the energy sector is increasingly focused on trying to get households and industries to cut back on electricity use when demand is high. Peter Casey turns on one of his PeakSmart air conditioners. Read more At 5pm on the Monday the network experienced record demand for power as temperatures soared into the mid-30s with drenching levels of humidity. It applied the same limits between 5:20pm and 7:20pm on December 16, 17, 28 and 29, and once each in March and February 2023. The caps were only applied once to 14,462 PeakSmart air-con units in regional Queensland in November last year. According to the Energex website, a survey of users found 70,000 people using the device did not notice any difference when the the measure was activated. Energy Minister Mick de Brenni said the scheme made for a “smarter grid” that worked better when demand was high, including during extreme weather. <<< End of Article >>>

On Tuesday, March 15, 2022, President Biden signed the FY 2022 Omnibus Appropriations legislation. This legislation included the designation of the entire Ports-to-Plains Corridor in Texas and New Mexico as a Future Interstate Highway. The Alliance and its partners continue efforts to obtain highway construction funding for both the Future Interstate and expansion to four-lanes along the entire corridor.

Ports-to-Plains System in Texas
The Ports-to-Plains System in Texas is a 963-mile corridor and will connect four interstates, 24 state highways and 17 U.S. highways to enhance statewide and rural connectivity. The new system intends to support a growing population, economic centers of West and South Texas, facilitate the movement of goods, international trade and key industries supporting national defense along the corridor.
The 86th Texas Legislature passed
House
Bill 1079 (HB 1079) relating to a study by TxDOT of the Ports-to-Plains Corridor, including an evaluation of the feasibility of certain improvements to Interstate Highway 27 (I-27). The governor signed the bill into law on June 10, 2019. The creation of an I-27 Advisory Committee was a policy recommendation from the Ports-to-Plains Corridor Advisory Committee as part of the Ports-to-Plains Corridor Interstate Feasibility Study completed in 2020.

UGH!!!! The frigg’n bike lanes in Seattle. Even where next to NO bicyclists go! Along a main neighborhood through street here, they put the bike lanes by the curb. Then large plastic planters. Then the parking lane. With those dang poles all along too, so you can’t open the passenger door, and there’s not enough space for delivery box trucks. I find expecting all to ride bikes in hilly mostly rainy Seattle is very EXCLUSIVE, to all who are not very fit mainly young able bodies, that don’t need to haul anything like groceries, children, or need to go further than a few miles or so.
Then there’s all the “Healthy streets” closed off except for residents. I have to drive through all of these. Theme there’s the ever increasing amount of speed humps and bumps. And the speed limit reduction to 25 everywhere, some places 20! Then all the lawn type signs with slogans like “20 IS PLENTY”, SLOW DOEN”, DRIVE LIKE YOU LIVE HERE”, and the newest with a cute little ducks crossing Arron, saying “SLOW THE FLOCK DOWN! “
They are INSANE here, with the King of Smug Governor J. Inslee.
LOTS of the ridiculous wind turbine here in Eastern WA.
_________
Same thing happening in Oregon. I wrote to the city’s mayor about what they’re doing with wasting money on bike lanes when nobody even rides bikes here. It’s rainy 9 months of the year . It’s bs.

I just watched a news video from one year ago where they talked about making Ft. Myers, FL a 15 minute city. They destroyed Ft. Myers with weather weapons as well I believe. Now, a condo complex that never flooded before this was flooded out. They are selling renovated 2/2 units for the low 200’s but now flood insurance alone is 3600 a year on the units, not to include regular insurance cost.
___________
Let me just say that, as a Texan in the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex, people are moving in from out of state faster than anything I’ve ever seen. When I say that everything is changing, and quickly, I mean everything.
The once small, country-setting style town that I live in just to the north of Ft Worth is becoming a concrete parking lot. Apartment complexes are being built in record time, and new neighborhood editions are sprouting up in every direction. Our two-lane, barbed wire, pastures full of livestock and sunflowers are all gone. We now have 2 lane roads with center turn lanes, no pastures, livestock, or sunflowers. Literally, every square inch of our town is being built on. Pastures, trees, all gone! There was once a day when we could leave our windows open and doors unlocked (even open) all night without a second thought. Today, we lock our doors and windows and every house has cameras watching their driveways because of late night/early morning attempts to find cars with unlocked doors to be burglarized. Traffic at all times, morning, lunch, and 5p rush-hour, is not the least bit tolerable. Traffic is packed bumper to bumper trying to get in or out, or to lunch and back to work. It is absolutely miserable and I can’t help but wonder if this is all a result of pushing from the other end under the WEF and NWO initiatives. I’m concerned that these are all blue voters (or at least many of them) and have not made the connection between how they vote and the reasons why they left wherever they came from. If so, an overwhelming surge of blue votes could indeed royally screw our state and everything else really.
Couple this with our illegal alien problems, and this here: last night I believe I may have found out where this sizeable chuck of people who would otherwise not reside in my area but rather in those communities with those most like them (as we all tend to do, naturally). Apparently, there are some 5,000+ homes on foreclosure in my zip code. I guess they are absorbed by FHA and can be purchased for just $1.00. No, that’s not a typo. One whole dollar. But they are importing those who have the highest rate of criminals into our communities. I wondered how that was occurring until I saw thos about the one dollar hones. And it was an intentional, coordinated undertaking. It’s like they weren’t here one day and the next, they were all here and being hired into many of our fast food establishments and groceries. And I’m not just saying this to be a jerk but I mean they are bringing in many of those who are not necessarily good people. They look very questionable.
I believe the agenda is to destroy our town. It may well be a part of bringing us down to third-world status. I’m any event, we aren’t moving in a good direction. I cringe at what we may be looking forward to in the medium to long term.

I live in Phoenix (same neighborhood for 25 yrs) and they started building massive highrise apt complexes (very cheaply made too )a couple years ago. Literally tearing EVERYTHING down and putting them everywhere and sometimes whole complexes are up in a couple weeks. One of the 700 plus apt complexes near my house has in their rental agreement that renters are NOT allowed to own a car. It has destroyed the look and feel of the neighborhood. And of course they are all “luxury living” which means the people who have lived her for decades can no longer afford to live here. Rent has gone up like 400 percent over the last few years. And they building them everywhere. Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, ect. It makes it ugly and crowded and sometimes I can be driving down the street and all the sudden feel like I’m lost as NOTHING looks familiar anywhere

Thanks Peggy, just wanted to let you know that I live in rual america and our small town recieved funding to rebuild 2 bridges and redo a couple of our main roads. When this happened they also installed bike lanes that also are not used. we also have the cameras on every corner and who knows what other big brother devices. If anyone thinks moving rual is the answer your wrong. And don’t forget trump promised to get 5g to our rual areas first. Thats a check as we now how 5g as well and every house in and outside the city limits were automatically upgaded to a dumb meter. We are now offically a small smart city and most people here do not even know what a smart city is. They said in agenda 2021 that they would start the proccess with cities, counties and municipalities as well as our police and fire departments. As you know, we are being betrayed by our own city councils and boards to implement these NWO agends.
_________
Yes, you are describing the exact blueprints that cities and towns are following all over the country.

Peggy, here’s one for you. The City of Wheeling in WV seems to be in the crosshairs for these agendas! The small downtown area looks like a bomb went off due to all of the infrastructure development that has been ongoing for about 5 years. Multiple ‘high rise’ apartment housing complexes have been constructed to house a population that doesn’t seem to exist at this point. In addition, it’s impossible for small businesses to operate due to the havoc that has been created through this development. It’s really sad. You can’t get into the establishments due to the never-ending construction carnage.
And what do the city leaders say to any blowback from the community: “it’s really going to be great when finished” whenever that will be.
__________
I know the “housing developments” are quite prolific in Ann Arbor Michigan, and roundabouts in all neighboring towns.
The rural areas still don’t have much, but they’re spraying the crap out of them and adding more towers. One very rural town not too far from me is quickly becoming a smart city. There’s pot shops and growing facilities everywhere too. Ugh

Envisaging the Future of Cities
The architect and influential urban planner Eugène Hénard was arguably the first to publicly discuss “future cities” in Europe during his 1910 address to the Royal Institute of British Architects in London. His vision anticipated the technological advances of the future, such as aerial transportation. This approach, prioritising technology, was also evoked in cinema in Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis.
To provide a safe and sustainable world for present and future populations, we need to think beyond “solutionism”. This is the idea that every problem we have has a technological fix.

It’s funny that some people still think that all this infrastructure has nothing to do with permanent surveillance and is only for security and reducing crime. Yet every life satisfaction study in various places around the world where it has already been installed clearly shows that it does not work, does not reduce crime or does not increase the sense of anyone’s security.

In Australia it’s all about data collection, and I actually can’t see any ‘success indictors’ that actually measure ACTUAL decreased injury/fatality (other than for Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders).
I wonder if the Road Safety Action plan is related to the various Vision Zero efforts to supposedly get rid of all auto accidents or something.
Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. First implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero has proved successful across Europe — and now it’s gaining momentum in major American cities.

As Oregon enforces its water use requirements, small farmers face the consequences
For seven years, del Campo has used well water to grow vegetables here, which she’s sold at farmers markets and to her neighbors. She said that’s been her primary source of income.
“It’s like a convenience store,” said del Campo. “People can stop in. I see a lot of people come on Sunday mornings to grab fixings for breakfast.”
However, everything changed last September. That’s when Oak Song Farm received a letter from the regional office of the Oregon Water Resources Department. It was a notification that the farm couldn’t irrigate its commercial crops without a water right.
Del Campo said this came as a complete surprise. Today, she said her business has been essentially destroyed.
“I don’t know why growing food is illegal,” she said. “That’s what doesn’t make sense to me.”

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Migratory waterfowl are to blame for widening avian-flu outbreaks in Texas cows and poultry, and wild birds carrying the virus should be heading north soon, state Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said on Tuesday.
The U.S. government since last week has reported cases of the disease in seven dairy herds in Texas and one person who had contact with cows, making it the state most affected by the country’s first-ever outbreaks in cattle. Texas is the biggest U.S. cattle producer.
The cases in dairy cattle and the second human case in two years in the United States renewed concerns about the virus, which has been infecting poultry flocks and a growing number of other species globally since 2022.
A positive test at a Texas egg farm led egg producer Cal-Maine to cull 1.6 million laying hens, the company said on Tuesday. Texas had never before suffered such a major outbreak at a commercial poultry facility, Miller said.
“This is spread by waterfowl,” he said in an interview. “It’s migratory season.”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) first reported on March 25 that a cow and milk from two dairies in Texas tested positive for bird flu, with along milk from two dairies in Kansas. The agency later confirmed positive tests in additional dairy herds in Texas, New Mexico, Michigan and Idaho.
The strain of the virus found in the subsequent states is very similar to the strain confirmed in the initial cases in Texas and Kansas that appear to have been introduced by wild birds, the USDA said.
“We’re ready for the ducks to head north to their nesting grounds,” Miller said. “We think within a week or a little longer they’ll all be out of Texas and we’ll be out of the woods.”
USDA said that transmission of the disease between cattle cannot be ruled out.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers the risk of bird flu for humans to be low. The Texas patient’s only symptom was eye inflammation, according to the state’s health department.
Richard Webby, a virologist at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, said testing for flu in cattle is not routine and that it was important to establish the connection between the sickness in cows, and ducks and cats on the farms.
“Some smart people made the link and actually tested them for flu,” he said.
With these cases, people will start looking for similar events in Europe and Asia, said Webby, director of the WHO Collaborating Center for Studies on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals and Birds.
The Texas outbreak may have started about a month ago when a mysterious illness affected about 40% of the state’s dairy herds, Miller said. He said he now suspects it was bird flu, though officials did not know it at the time and can’t confirm it because the animals recovered.
“We were testing for every cattle disease we could think of and then somebody said, ‘What are all these dead birds doing around the dairies?'” Miller said.

So they are using bikes to restrict cars and pretending this is all about cyclists and making streets more cyclist friendly.
Authoritarianism with a smile. Basic necessities and provisions will be fought for
genpops in the many cities who enforce frequent street closures do not see what is being rolled out. Indeed, they see it as cheerily as the Press given
Yes this is also the way it’s being done in montpellier France
They have been whittling down the size of lanes for cars and the number of lanes for cars for almost a decade now near me. Putting in bike lanes both directions, putting in additional street parking and making prior parking that was parallel into perpendicular parking now taking up far more of what used to be lanes of travel and now making it so bikes have full access to the traffic lanes as well as their own bikes lanes. Traffic is horrible and the lanes are so narrow it is dangerous now. It is obvious what the plan is.
Here is a post from an anti-LED group:
It’s a start…. However, LED is harmful, whatever the Colour Temperature, due to its SPD (Spectral Power Distribution). LED Lights are far too intense and they have a higher Electromagnetic Radiation output than incandescent lighting. Incandesent is more benign to Health and Ecology. Then, the LED roll-out has nothing to do with the Environment, it is the precursor of so-called “smart” towns and cities, which are anything but smart for Health or Environment….

UK’s total global emissions of CO2 are 0.9%, same as Poland’s.
Even if both of those countries will commit that expensive economical suicide, this will do didly squat to the global emmisions.
It is just self imposed torture and slavery.
More EVs? Like many are awake to the fact EVs are horrible for the environment. They know that. Theyre not going to let us have cars and drive. Its 15 minute prisons and total control.
Do the math: Calculate the CO2 reduction in the U.S. alone if they set all traffic lights to be timed properly AND sense when there are few to no cars on the perpendicular/opposite route. Meaning, how many times have we slowed down and stopped for a red light, waited a minute or so, ZERO other cars, but have to wait…and when light turns green again we accelerate again to go. All this churning out billions of excess pounds of CO2 every year in the U.S.
If it was really about CO2 reduction this is the fastest, almost instantaneous way to reduce it substantially.
But its about control, ‘green’ scams and suckering humanity into 15 minute prisons.
In Boulder, Colorado where I live the speed limit on residential streets was recently lowered to 20mph, and robotized radar enforcement has been increased. Some of the arterial streets have had their four lanes reduced to two, with a middle turn lane, and bike lanes expanded with curbs between them and the car lanes. Boulder is an example of liberalism run amok, and is often in the avant-garde of social changes.
The Military uses way more oil than everyone else put together. The US has 800+ overseas bases and fleets all over the world poking their nose in everyone else’s business. Why not abolish all that first?
And EVs? Give me a break. They’re a white elephant and a toxic, highly flammable one at that.
Here is a post shared by a friend of mine:
Starting July 6, 2024, all new cars and trucks sold in the European Union and Northern Ireland will be required to come equipped with safety technology that alerts drivers when they are speeding. This technology can beep, vibrate, or even slow down the vehicle to help prevent accidents.🚗
And some replies to this post:
Last summer we were given an electrical Ford Mustang SUV ( the car rental didn’t have the gas car we had asked for). Driving on a small Norwegian road it beeped constantly when it came over the speed limit. It felt like torture. Finally we were able to turn it off. It also wrestled with you every time you passed the median line. The car killed the pleasure of driving, made it impossible to drive smoothly and efficiently.
And insurance companies will be able to deny coverage if the car records you speeding.
Pretty well fits the description of what used to be called “a racket”. I dont think people recognize them anymore, since so many fall for them.
Help to spy on you, more likely
very likely…

Yep just the jobbie … go out side you allotted zone and it’ll shut down, go above your allotted milage for the month it’ll shut down….. yep that’s the future folks
Not if you keep your older car!
older cars will be taxed off the road… this whole thing stinks.
Apparently all cars sold in uk after June this year(new cars) they come compulsory fitted with live speed limitersand all will be limited to 70 mph max
That’s the whole point of the electric push. Kill off petrol/diesel sales, watch them shut those down and be replaced with charging points, so eventually you can’t actually fill up your older car any more.
the EU had a new mandate under debate that any car over 15 years old will not legally allowed to be repaired.
In a “nudge” to push you towards a more connected and therefore remotely controlled vehicle.
Introducing geofencing… how to keep you in your 15 minute city apart from 100 permitted days leave.
Oxford, Lancaster & other UK100 cities have already have put up their ANPR cameras.

BMW hybrid already do this. I had a hire car and when I drove into the CAZ in Birmingham it kicked into EV mode, I literally switch it off and that was it.
Lots of “connected” cars have this capability. I noticed that the latest Toyota CHR showed geofencing as a positive feature in the blurb…..

And another post from him:
Depending on who you read, Oxfordshire Council is either imposing a ‘Climate Lockdown Trial’ or a ‘Traffic Management Strategy’.
The truth of the matter, as far as I can discern, is that car users will have to apply to the council for passes to go through certain traffic lights more than 100 times in a year. They will be free to travel through these lights using other modes of transport.
I don’t think that this amounts to a climate lockdown, where no one can leave their homes – but I do think that it amounts to a huge invasion of privacy, whereby Oxfordshire car owners will have to register their vehicles with the council, who will then use number plate recognition technology, to fine them if they exceed their 100 trip quota.
It also amounts to a restriction on people’s freedom of movement – which is a slippery slope, one year you won’t be able to drive through the threshold because your car is generating too much pollution, the next year you won’t be able to walk through it because you are exhaling too much CO2.
