£100 off insurance for being limited to 70: would you do it?
Discussion
If your car insurer offered a straight £100 off your car insurance in return for a 70mph limiter would you go ahead with it?
The thought was provoked by the the number of people who I saw today who slavishly obey speed limits for better or for worse - for them the £100 would be a no brainer!

What happens if I need to take evasive action to remove myself from a potential crash and exceed 70mph?
This is why I'd say no too. I've driven fast past a collision to avoid getting caught as I spotted one happening, and I'd like that option there for any chance of it happening in the future. Without good acceleration, you've got roughly 5 directions you can veer towards, with it, you've got 8 options to escape. It's even more important on motorbikes.God no, my works car is limited to 70mph and when you hit the limiter it just feels like your pushing into a sponge, it takes a age to overtake anything and then you get stuck in the middle lane, in my own car I like to overtake quickly then drop back to lane 1 but in this car you pull out hit the limiter and crawl past.
I don't complain as I'm getting paid the whole time and it's a free car essentially. But for my own car and for the sake of £100 no thanks, would rather give up buying cups of tea everyday to save that.
