When you notice the car starts to speed up unintentionally, why not turn it off? /common sense

turning it off is stupid. put it into neutral, pull off to the side and put your hazards on. then once you come to a stop, turn it off.

The limiters are generally based on the speed rating of the tire. Which incidentally is tested/rated at for 30 minutes at load rating. Since most cars weigh considerably less than the sum of their tires load ratings, and the fact that most cars will drain their fuel tank in 30-40 minutes of continuous WOT, we conclude that speed limiters suck!
