spin recovery / understeer transition in front wheel drive cars (bad roads / traction loss in the rear, correcting for a blowout believe it or not), accelerating out of the way of someone about to accidentally pit you from behind (or from across), when you’re too close to the yellow and stopping will put you in the intersection and in the gun of the red light camera, pushing the holeshot on an opposite lane pass that turned ugly…
I guess, basically all of those sound like issues that could be avoided by driving slower and more carefully in general though. I will also point out that according to the article there is the ability to override the device for about a minute while logging the override, which leaves more than enough time to perform a maneuver like that in an emergency (I assume there are penalties for using the override outside of an emergency).
All your carefulness in the world can be undone by one careless driver. All these speed governing systems can be tricked or rendered a dngerous roadblock by dirty cameras, a cloudy day, roadwork, or interference on the gps band
Sounds to me like still better than nothing, especially when it’s only being applied to people who are unsafe drivers anyway. On the other hand, I would greatly prefer the license just be revoked and their car auctioned off at this point instead.
