At least when people make a stupid overtake with limiters they'll be doing 70mph when they plow into each other rather than 120mph, so you know, maybe the backseat passengers survive?
Then again, maybe they won't try the overtake in the first place because that 5 seconds they save doing 100mph instead of 70mph becomes less 'worth it'.

I understand the reasoning, I just think it's flawed. It's not the limiter that's creating the danger, it's the driver who decided to execute a dangerous and pointless manoeuvre. But yes, practically speaking, people make stupid decisions when driving and you're kind of removing the ability to hastily correct for one of those decisions by limiting their speed. Depressing!
