Speed governor/limiter systems....exist in Ireland?

Rigol

Hello, I know very little about cars, I drive a Megane 02 and Im looking to know if its possible to restrict the maximum speed I drive at.

I can be a bit too fond of the pedal some times and lose it the odd time on the road and I generally don't want to die in a speed related accident.
Self control is out of the question as Im mental.

What speed do you want to be restricted to? On some roads 30km/h is wayyy too fast and on others 140km/h is relativity safe.

Even if you restricted your car to 120km/h you could still end up driving to fast for the road conditions on a motorway. And be going way too fast on some other roads.

Learn some self control, we've all had to do it, and don't be relying on others. Though some cars, I've only noticed on Merc's, have speed warning limits you can set yourself but they don't stop you.

Ask a reanult dealer. If the ecu is mappable it can likely have a top speed limiter set. Depends on the ecu.

Buy GPS with a speed limit alarm

You can die in a speed related accident even below the posted speed limit.

If you don't have the ability to practice 'self control' on the road then no electronic limiter will help you.

but... its not in the driving test so its not Really needed until you need it.

invest in some good tyres, relaxing music & a more light hearted and calm approach to motoring...

theirs plenty of hours in the day so their is.

....don't some have a 'speed alarm', user-settable........or am I mixing brands ? I know some Fiat's, Merc's, and iirc Saab have it as well........
