Speed Limit

[turbolover]

Why are cars equipped with the ability to go beyond 110km/h when the speed limit tops at 110km/h in Malaysia? Fine, maybe it’s for overtaking purposes but why don’t limit cars to 130km/h as an allowance for overtaking speed. Why fined us for speeding when even local car manufacturers allow us to do so. Some claimed of top speed of 170km/h with a 1200cc engine capacity. What’s the point? We are going to get summoned anyway.
Why don’t we all ride in golf buggies since the top speed for it rarely reaches 30km/h. Then hypocrites won’t campaign that speed kills. Put doors on buggies and go electric. Let motorcyclist ride on motorized bicycle. We might save mother earth from perishing.
Maybe the world will only function if money is spent. Companies produced and summons issued so that salary will be paid.

u just got summoned ah bro? :hmmmm:
i myself not sure why do our authorities put 110km/h as the limit (highway)..why not 150km/h..
even most of recond cars that come into our country hv speed limiters at 180km/h..

Haha no la bro i got summon so many times that i dont remember.Two weeks back saw our ever hardworking polis pointing his camera at me.did not manage to say hello to him though.I'm just venting my frustration n maybe some members here got an answer to why don't limit cars speed limit since most car r driven daily n those who want to go to the track can modify the speed limiter.i for one cannot control my right foot unless i'm in kampung where i'm afraid some kids or makcik suddenly jump out.:hmmmm:

Thats an easy question. Just when you top out at 110km/h national speed limit, does not mean it applies when overtaking. You could put out 120-130km/h to overtake. But since 110km/h is already a fastest lane speed, you could not do much.

Also car manufacturers CAN put speed limiters in every car. But because the same car is marketed worldwide where their national speed limit is different. It does not make sense to make a car ECU for every different country right?

Lastly, it is the law. And as a human, you can break it or adhere to it. If you break it, why the fuss? Since you are very aware you broke it. If it does not apply to you, why bother even posting here?

:rolleyes:

Top speed is just the by product of how the entire car is design and built. They don't build cars to purposely give you the ability to break the speed limits.

Take say a 7 series beemer that can cruise seemlessly in such relaxed manner at 110kmph. To have this they had to build a huge-highly advance smooth engine, so the by product of this is a 250kmph top speed....

Then take say an Ariel Atom that can do 0-100 in like 3 seconds. To have that great acceleration they needed to supercharge a k20 from a honda. The by product of that is a top speed of like 230-240kmph....

and so on and so forth..... see where i'm going here??

Then theres the speed limit issues... lets just says, rules and regulations are there for a reason (we all can find a +ve for it if we wanted to), some agree and some will not, some abide, some don't, get caught, suck it up and pay up la... politics of the issue, well thats an entire different story right?
