That's not true. The dashboard manual, which came with the Optare Versa that Impera had a few months ago, mentioned that if a certain emissions light illuminated on the dashboard, the bus would feature a deduction in power (thus the bus would do so automatically). Obviously, buses can be turned-down for the reason that you've said, but that isn't always the case (unless Optare vehicles are the only ones to do such a thing).
