Hi,

I own a Skoda Octavia e-tec 2020.

I've exceeded speed limit travelling at 27 mph (yes, I live in Wales)

Is there a speed limiter on my car? I haven't got a clue. Very grateful if anyone can help.

Sincerely,

Tico

Yes. You'll find it between your right foot and the firewall when you sit in the driving seat.

Don't understand. Nothing there.

The accelerator pedal. You control that.

Others are correct, the accelerator pedal is the best bet.

As for a limiter in the car, it likely depends on the model you have. An SE-L, for example has adaptive cruise control and speed limiter, lowest effective speed is 20mph.

SE spec, and SE Technology differ. I drive an SE First Edition for a while some four years ago; it had standard cruise control but don’t remember a speed limiter.

Check the manual for your car and have a look at the control fitted. If it’s there it’ll either on the end of the indicator stalk or an additional stalk on the left side of the steering wheel.

Hi,

Yes, I accept the point about the accelerator pedal. But driving at 20 mph has its problems, not least the need to keep one's eyes on the speedo thereby drawing attention away from the road in front of you. But that's the law here. Just for the record, I was doing 20mph yesterday and was overtaken by two cyclists. The law doesn't seem apply to them.

We have basic cruise control (not ACC) and you can swap between that and the speed limiter - instructions from the digital manual.

That's Great. Thanks so much.

20mph is a crap speed it's high for 2nd and low for 3rd
