Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for limiting the speed of a vehicle to a consumer changeable and lockable maximum speed, and of flexibly enforcing this speed limit such that the driver has the ability to exceed the maximum speed for brief periods of time as necessary for safe driving. The inventive apparatus also allows for the inclusion of an emergency override button (28), which provides even greater flexibility.
