If you have a limiter that limits speed to say 56mph and run over down a hill for example this can be seen as as not in control of the vehicle read about someone being prosecuted for this a few years back.
If that were the case no one could ever read the road ahead, lift of the right pedal and use the vehicle momentum and gradient to maintain or increase speed, a recognised way of fuel saving and making progress, or they will be prosecuted… That’s all the limiter does in effect, lift of the pedal. The Eco-Roll feature in a Volvo i-shift, and now available from Mercedes as well I believe, takes that a step further and drops the box into neutral. If that is not being in control of the vehicle, and could lead to a prosecution, than trucks fitted with the Eco-Roll system would never have got type approval and would not be on the road.
