What is a speed limiter?

Speed limiters are devices designed to restrict the maximum speed of a vehicle. They are commonly installed by vehicle manufacturers or regulatory agencies for safety reasons, and are also used by companies or organizations for their fleets of vehicles, such as the British Gas Volkswagen Caddy. However, some people may be tempted to remove the speed limiter to increase their vehicle’s speed, despite the potential risks and consequences.

If you’re thinking about getting your speed limiter removed then I would highly recommend using Bellman’s Auto Electronic Services. He is super knowledgeable and probably the best guy in the UK for working on this type of stuff. Not only do they remove limiters, but then can fit loads of accessories such as multi function steering wheels and also fit cruise control etc.

Cruise Control

If you are a frequent driver or often find yourself on long stretches of road, you may benefit from installing cruise control on your Volkswagen Caddy. Cruise control allows you to maintain a constant speed without having to hold down the accelerator pedal. Therefore, making long drives more comfortable and efficient.

Benefits of installing cruise control on your Volkswagen Caddy:

  • Increased comfort on long drives: With cruise control, you can maintain a constant speed without having to hold down the accelerator pedal, reducing driver fatigue and making long drives more comfortable.
  • Improved fuel efficiency: Maintaining a constant speed with cruise control can improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
  • Reduced speeding: Cruise control can help you avoid inadvertently speeding, as the system is designed to maintain a constant speed. This can help you avoid costly speeding tickets and fines.
