Instead, he wants cars that are sold in UK to have satellite tracking (i.e. Lo-Jack) and/or advanced engine immobilizers and/or paging alarms standard.
Personally I think most alarms are crap. I use LawMan's unbreakable Brake Club (the club that makes it impossible to depress the brake - thus put the car in Park or drive it). I also have Lo Jack.
I think all cars should have (at least newly sold ones) lo jack and advance immobilizing systems (which I guess new Hondas have).
Cant believe everything you hear.
Maybe they should ban tow trucks also. Even with that Brake club a tow truck could come right along and take your car.
When you see a tow truck towing a car do you stand there thinking humm...is he trying to steal a car?
Lo Jack wont stop a theif from stealing your car radio.
Most thieves do smash and grab jobs so an alarm with a loud siren is helpful in detering a theif. ( My opinion ).
