Agreed.

A lot of people use that road perfectly safely to visit Blue Lagoon and go fishing in remote areas. Surely the solution is to ban ATVs and buggies, as they are the things that people are killed in, aren't they?

I would agree with that, the times I've drove along there I've had Quads and Buggie's pushing to get past us. It should be slow and steady along there.

What do you mean by a speed limiter?

Imagine not being able to switch it off in an emergency though.

Ok so the latest gadgets are not available yet but anyone noticed in Dominics videos he slowed down when confronted with a speed hump. The bane of our ass over here but works Guess some buggy drivers might see them as a challenge & give a high five as they sail through

Having a camera on the roof tends to dampen the need for speed.
