How Speed Limiters Work
Speed limiters work by restricting the fuel supply or engine power when the vehicle reaches its set maximum speed. Modern systems typically:
The speed limiter receives a signal from the vehicle's speed sensor or tachograph.
The unit continuously compares actual speed against the programmed maximum speed.
When the limit is reached, the system restricts fuel delivery to prevent further acceleration.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Operating a vehicle without a required speed limiter, or with a faulty/tampered unit, can result in:
- Fines up to £5,000
- Vehicle prohibition
- Points on operator licence
- Potential criminal prosecution
