Europe set to adopt vehicle speed limiters

Systems to limit the speed of vehicles sold in the EU look set to become compulsory

Rachel Burgess of the motoring website Autocar explains the technology involved in the proposals. And as technology increasingly takes over from drivers, Calum McPhail of the Swiss insurer, Zurich, tells us about the implications for the insurance industry. Also in the programme, two months on from a mining disaster in Brazil that left at least 308 people dead, many mining dams in the country are being decommissioned. Our reporter examines the impact on local economies near the closures. Plus, is it cheating, or just another way to make some cash? We hear from someone who makes a living writing essays for students.
