Background

Due to deaths during police pursuits, we urge the Government to require the installation of mandatory kill switches in all new cars, so they can be remotely operated in case a car fails to stop for the police.

Additional details

With ever-evolving car technology, we want the Government to mandate the installation of remote kill switches in all new cars. This could be made available to the police to operate remotely should a car fail to stop for them.
