A new system means parents can retain some control when they hand their car keys to their teenager for the first time.

It can limit their children's speed and even stop them having the stereo too loud when they borrow the car.

I want one.. :exclaim:

Having 2 boys turning 18 this summer, I would love to have this feature.  :whistler:

Not just to control the topspeed, but would be great if it could reduce the engine HP to e.g 70 % as it's still possible to drive like crazy below 80 MPH. And permanent anti-spin.

Well, first they need to get their license... :sweating:

I find twins and triplets and such fascinating (great when they are well behaved but not so much if they are "out of sorts")  :whistler:

Are your boys identical twins?

No, they are different both on the outside and the inside, I'm very happy with that.

They have had very much fun with each other through their life, as they have same age, that can often be a problem when there's e.g 3-4 year between the kids.

No, not related at all.

That's a relief otherwise, if and when they multiply, it may be by the factor of 4 each..

(twins by twins = 4) :snigger:
