I know. I'm asking why the hard limit is at 250KM/h for most cars, but not at 120. I use cruise control and speed limiters regularly, otherwise.

- Thiez 3y agoBecause many countries have speed limits higher than that? In the Netherlands 130 km/h is allowed (usually only at night), in Poland they have 140 km/h in some places, and in Germany there are many roads where a maximum speed of 130 km/h is recommended, but there is no limit (provided you drive responsibly).
- nikau 3y agoSpeed restrictors are often set to the maximum tyre speed minus a bit of margin. eg. a "W" rated tyre is 270kmh max rated, so the manufacture might set the max vehicle speed to 250. Tyres get exponentially more expensive as speed ratings go up.
