Volvo Cars have revealed the ‘Care Key’ allowing any Volvo buyer to set a speed limit for themselves, their family members or friends. The Care Key will come as standard on all Volvo cars from model year 2021.

which encourages road users to make better choices. The campaign aims
to continue to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on Dorset roads, whether they’re in vehicles, or on motorbikes, bicycles, horses or foot. Drivers and other road users often make decisions that they later regret, whether it is when to pull out of a T-junction, dangerously overtaking the vehicle in front, crossing the road in an unsafe place, overtaking a cyclist or horse rider too close or driving under the influence of drink or drugs. Making the wrong choice can all too often lead to tragedy. The campaign is based loosely around the popular ‘Cards Against Humanity’ game, with messaging delivered in a thought provoking and innovative way that will resonate with road users. It has been designed to push the boundaries to generate attention to our road safety messages and to get people to stop and think.
