Got to say, roll on GPS speedlimiters, especially now the limits are going to be raised
? give us a clue
Clue on What ?
If you mean the tachograph unit will be GPS controlled, meaning you will actually be able to do a real 56 where allowed, and not dependant on a poor calibration or tyre wear.
Bet I’ll be able to hit 75 through the Dartford tunnel. 
lol I am sure they will mange it somehow, self calibration I suppose, average revs verses wheel speed before signal lost I guess
Something like that 
Anyway, Link to gps tacho

Nothing I can see there about the speed limiter being GPS controlled? The (optional) GPS functions appear to be for recording the location of the vehicle, not for limiting its speed.

^This.
Can’t see any problem with this…

No one said there was
But, it has been suggested that it will happen sooner or later
I am just pointing out its possible, not far off
I’d prefer sooner

I wonder if you’ll think the same way when you realise that the limiter will be able to vary to match the road you’re currently driving on…
Yep, no problem
As you know the limits are going up to sensible levels soon

how to they work in tunnels

I guess they can calibrate themselves. when theres a signal and go by that when theres not
The guv’nor will give you more deliveries as you are now able to drive faster !
And no "getting on " towards home on a Friday ?
Also Vosa nicking you with it three weeks after a speeding offence ?..could that be a possibility ?
Ye gods come back the seventies and early eighties please !

I say roll on the next 10 years when all those who were trucking in the 70’s and 80’s have retired and so have the practices they did along with them. Maybe then haulage can progress into the 21st Century instead of being some backward timewarp where drivers seem to want to get shafted, run around ragged and are happy running bent and buggering up their health for poverty money.
Im ready
I’m gonna ■■■■ myself laughing when they find a way to limit vehicle speeds to the road limit via GPS. Then all the job n knock jockeys and the ‘I just want to get home’ crew will be crying into their belly buster baguettes
how about fitting them to cars ■■

+1…at least you could work how you liked and used a bit of initiative.i still like to work the hours that suit me and not what the tacho tells me,but if you prefer to be a bean counter,then each to their own. at least if someone makes it,then someone else can break it,or at least fiddle with it. and they called a tacho the spy in the cab?..personally the limiter only works when its connected.

21st century lol,
I dread to think what things will be like in another 10 years, when you think where we are now what with dcpc qualified sat nav steering wheel attendants wedged under bridges or stuck down country lanes steering rev up and go trucks whilst wearing all the latest hi vis clothing but having no idea of how to secure a load in even the most basic forms of transport, never mind changing a bulb.
In another 10 years there will be no need to pay many of them at all, many of these useless skills will be redundant!
GPS MY ARSE!
