I hope they take this a step further. Cars should not be able to exceed 90mph unless you have a special license for the track. 99.9% of drivers are not tracking their car and theres absolutely no reason a 6000lb pick up truck needs to go 150mph under any circumstance.
One major reason why ignition locks that uses breathalyzers has failed to gain popularity is false positives. Police always do a blood test after a positive breath test, because those breathalyzers have know faults when it comes to a number of substances, including bread, fruit, chewing gum, vanilla extract, vinegar and energy drinks...
Never, in any car I’ve ever been in, have I seen a false positive seatbelt warning.
As far as making someone get a special track license, that just seems like overkill.
Im not saying beeping will stop all of this but I think its a large low hanging fruit in terms of road safety. You will strongly disagree with this but mandatory breathalyzers are another.
I would love if these rules were not necessary but drivers (in the US at least) have proven that they are not responsible in aggregate.
I dont think anyone disagrees with speed limits, I dont understand the moral panic that comes from taking it a step further and building it into the car.
Youre right about needing to speed sometimes though, maybe they need to add a 15% buffer or some kind of "10/10 data points in the last 5 mins required" condition.

Hello there, I disagree with speed limits on any highway, as well as most well built roads that don't have pedestrians adjacent. I'm not a civil engineer or traffic researcher, but I do disagree with them. Having ridden on the autobahn I also didn't feel less safe there.
People driving on racetracks do not necessarily have licenses. They neither necessarily have a license to drive a car on the road, nor do they necessarily have sanctioned racing licenses.
Even if this suggestion did make sense, we have no mechanism to enforce it. People in the US drive without valid licenses all of the time. The car has no idea if you have a license at all, let alone which ones.
