It's pretty much useless if you really look at it. If the car is limited at 110 you can still do 110 in a 40 at school times. If they really want to stop speeding they should look more into a system that reads speed signs and sets the speed limiter based the zone you are in. Limiting the speed should also be based on where the person drives.
Unfortunately sometimes the speed limit needs to be broken. Instead of trying to fix things with a quick band aid fix maybe the real problem should be fixed. People are still going to overtake under dangerous conditions and limiting the speed is only going to result in more deaths. Instead they should look at fixing the real problem which is driver education. It may not be the easiest fix but it would certainly help more then just a blanket speed limit on cars.
