Sounds like you might enjoy the book launch on the 28th. Be great to see you there.
MEPs vote on new measures to improve road safety and reduce accidents on 16 April. The rules would make a number of safety features compulsory in new cars.
So speed limiters will not be mandatory as was stated in some of the papers.
Surely the most urgently required compulsory device is one that completely prevents mobile phone use within a vehicle when the motor is running?

Why should passengers not be able to make and take calls? And all modern GPS systems use mobile data; are you suggesting its much better to have the driver trying to read a map?
There's nothing wrong with passengers making calls but if the only way to stop the increasingly high number of drivers texting while driving is to slightly inconvenience passengers then that's a price worth paying.
The problem with phones may be people scrolling through menus and not looking at the road. On new cars such as teslas they have an ipad on the dash board that controls many functions, almost all on a tesla. In a normal car you can adjust the heat, the blower, the radio, and the seats without looking away from the road. On many new cars you cannot. I would tend to think they should disable the touch screens while the car is driven. These are needlessly bad designs when have new cars that require you to look away from the road for functions that in a 60 year old car could do by touch.
They should ban touch screens from being used while driving like a mobile phone, there is no reason why tactile buttons could not be used in cars. In a few years’ time when all cars have touch screens for heater and radio etc roads may be more hazardous
I dont think that you have teenagers; they would pretty much refuse to go anywhere that they cant have internet access.
