The European Union (EU) plans to stop cars speeding. It hopes to reduce the 30,000 road deaths that happen each year in Europe. It will use a technology called intelligent speed authority (ISA). Satellites communicate with cars. It gives the driver a warning about the speed limit. The technology can also automatically put on the car's brakes and slow it down to a safer speed. The transport department said it could cut road deaths by one-third by 2020.

Not everyone is happy with this idea. People in Britain do not want the EU telling them how to drive. It takes away the freedom of drivers. Britain believes it is unnecessary because it has fewer road deaths. In 2012, 1,754 people died on British roads. This was lower than in 2011 and the lowest figure ever. In Germany, there were 3,657 deaths last year. A motoring group warned that ISA could be dangerous. You cannot accelerate to avoid crashing, if you have to.
