Yeah, Total junk. State Route 20 never fails to be read as a 20 MPH sign with mine. Can't imagine the pile up if the truck downshifted/braked/decelerated to 20 MPH on the freeway. Highway 15 does the same, but not all the time. That and the camera doesn't differentiate the part that says 'School Zone. Speed limit XX when flashing' when the lights aren't on. | |||

I have no problem with land vehicles having speed limited... to 186,000 mi/s | |||

My 96 Ranger has a top end of about 80. And I think that little 2.3 is doing 6k rpm to do that. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

It’ll be awesome when every car is governed like every truck. Wait till you have a Camry next to a Town & Country for 3 miles trying to pass. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Wait, what? |
People do it already and the blood isn’t filling the gutters. I have a Superchips tuner for my 02 Grand Cherokee (mainly for shift points, shift firmness, and the tow setting when I need it) that removes my top end limit. I have never gone anywhere near winding it all the way out. I’m not advocating disabling settings so people can speed through school zones, merely pointing out that there is a way to easily get around limiters. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

My 2010 Infiniti has a limiter that limits the top speed to 168mph. Haven't test it yet..... When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

My wife's duty Chevy Blazer (the little one, not the K5) topped out at 95mph (late 1990's early 2000's time frame). Don't know if it was governed, or this was just the limit of the engine's ability. She used to do K9 training with the Mass. State Police K9 units. Apparently MSP likes to haul ass when traveling to remote training sites, so they had to designate one trooper to "Alice duty", IOW to hang back and lead her into the training venue. When in doubt, mumble | |||

Coming soon to the People's Republik of NY: NY legislators want to mandate devices to slow cars repeatedly caught by speed cameras Published: Aug. 02, 2023, 10:00 a.m. epeat speeders could be stuck in low gear under a plan to electronically limit their cars’ speeds put forward by Brooklyn lawmakers. Drivers with multiple speed-camera violations would be ordered to install aftermarket speed limiters on their cars under a bill proposed Tuesday by two legislators. “There is a persistent cohort of drivers who are getting five, six, seven, ten, 15, 20 speeding tickets — and driving on our streets recklessly without any consequences whatsoever,” said Sen. Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn), who announced his sponsorship of the bill in the Senate... Complete article: https://www.syracuse.com/polit...y-speed-cameras.html | |||

My company 1/2 ton truck has a 75 mph governor and it’s a pain in the ass. I cruise along in the governor and half the people I pass speed up and pace along side for a bit so short distance. I feel bad for the people stuck behind me since I can’t speed up a little and move back over. “That’s what.” - She | |||

186. _______________________________
On a long, straight two-lane country road, I pulled out in my 2008 (?) Tahoe to pass an eighteen wheeler. Turned out it was three closely-spaced eighteen wheelers, and the oncoming car in the other lane was approaching much faster than I estimated. I floored it and was startled/shocked when my Tahoe hit that 100 mph limiter before I'd completed my pass. Barely got back in front of the third truck in time. Felt ____________________ | |||

IIRC, it's the speed rating of tires that largely dictates terminal speed. ofc a governor can take it lower. | |||

I dunno, tac, I've driven in Italy and France, and they aren't shrinking violets. Hell, even the UK was pretty cavalier about speed limits 30 years ago. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

I do, and most cars would keep on accelerating with that needle pegged Europe has been an un-livable, incompatible place for Americans to consider living in for a very long time. This changes fuckall. Now if you wanna bring that bullshit here, see what happens. Electric cars are waning in popularity areound here, mostly because of crazy fires and the incompetent beaurocrats clumsily attempting to claw back gas money, with taxes and poorly considered charging regulations. It's fucking laughable. They are building a Buc ee's north of Denver, there's excitement about it too. What's that tell you? | |||

Wife bought a Porsche a google number of years ago and in the owners manual is explained that the engine had a 'electronic governor' on it that would cause it to cut out if you exceeded 7200 rpm... and also that the car could not or should not exceed 158mph.

In the case of the RPM limiter it was more likely a device to prevent the engine from becoming a parts distributor. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||
