     @bkuhn@floss.social @kevin@km6g.us Usually if you floor it, you override the limiter.

     @kevin I get the joke, but I'm actually baffled by this feature altogether. The vehicle I drive has this feature as well, and it seems a safety concern to me. There are safety moments where quick acceleration beyond speed limit rather than braking are necessary to avoid collision.

     I always drive the speed limit myself except in emergency, & think the audible & visual warning when you exceed the speed limit make much more sense for safety.
