I'm not often in the car with my husband but today when we were travelling in his car there was a high pitched beep every 30 seconds when he was going 70 mph or above. He can't hear it due to his hearing loss. It's a really quiet noise. What is it for?

//70 mph or above ?//

Question Author

Yes

If it's a fairly new car, it's probably the speed warning system cutting in. All new cars within the EU now have to have speed limiters built into them.  As we're no longer in the EU, the rule doesn't apply to cars in mainland Britain but (because of the open border with Ireland) it does apply in Northern Ireland.  Further, manufacturers might choose to include speed limiters within their UK models, even if they're not forced to do so.

My dash cam beeps if I'm driving above the speed limit 

I'm sure you must have meant "69mph or above".

Maybe a garage can cut the wire for you. Lord knows I wish someone could block all the dangerous distracting alarms in my woman's car. It seems manufacturers are determined to cause pile ups these days.

And yet there are fewer fatal accidents today than in the 50s, OG.

That's because driving improved and cars were built safer over most of that period, seat belts likely helped a lot, but no doubt you will note the horrible changes put in over the last decade or so to distract drivers and cause them issues.

No, I've got an old banger so the tech that's in it is what I've added

You can turn off the speed warnings, RTFM.

I think my RAV4 was one of the last ones without all the bells & whistles. Not keen to replace it any time soon.

the thing is, im not sure they ARE speed warnings hence the q.  the beep every 30 seconds is very quiet, so would to me seem useless as a warning

Do any warning lights pop up on the dashboard panel ?

no

Any use?
