A <strong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"819\">speed limiter<\/strong> (also called a <strong data-start=\"835\" data-end=\"853\">speed governor<\/strong>) controls how fast a vehicle can go, no matter how hard someone presses the gas pedal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"1053\">This keeps drivers from going beyond safe speeds and helps reduce road accidents, fuel waste, and engine strain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1234\">In many countries, speed limiters are now <strong data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1117\">legally required<\/strong> in commercial and public vehicles. But beyond the law, they also improve safety, save money, and protect passengers.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1280\"><strong data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1280\">What Exactly Is a Speed Limiter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1282\" data-end=\"1579\">A speed limiter is a small electronic device that <strong data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1358\">caps the maximum speed<\/strong> a vehicle can reach. It\u2019s not the same as cruise control. Cruise control keeps a car going at a set speed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1282\" data-end=\"1579\">A speed limiter stops it from going <em data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1508\">over<\/em> a certain speed\u2014even when the road is empty and the engine is roaring.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1753\">Some speed limiters are built right into the engine control unit (ECU), while others are added later (aftermarket devices). Newer types even work with GPS and terrain data.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"1817\"><strong data-start=\"1763\" data-end=\"1817\">Different Types of Speed Limiters and What They Do<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"765\">Not all speed limiters are created equal. The type you need depends on <strong data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"495\">how<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"506\">where<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"519\">why<\/strong> your vehicle operates.
