People will deactivate these chips, hack them, "customise them". Imagine that neighbour you hate, reprogram your chip and go 150mph in a 30 zone, sounds like a fucking plan! They lose their licence and you get a no risk thrill. Apart from the risk of knocking someone down not looking when they're crossing. Before you get moral on me, if people don't look before stepping out, they're as bad as the people who don't drive with due care and attention, kids included.
The uneducated masses will just steal cars to get a thrill from driving, much like they do now.
