Hello nairalanders, pls can u enlighten me on hw a cars speed limiter works and also what's the difference between 'electronically limited & governor limited'?

Speed limiter is an electronic or mechanical device employed in vehicles to prevent them exceeding a particular speed usually to adhere to local road safety laws, speed capacity of vehicle, protect components of the vehicle and safety pass thru a type of road in a region.

Electronic speed limiters work by A series of sensors which detect how fast you're going, then communicate that information to the engine's computer, which manages nearly all the engine's functions. Once you reach a pre-determined top speed, the computer steps in and restricts the flow of air and fuel to the engine and even the sparks that cause combustion. Either way, you'll be unable to exceed the top speed as determined by the car's manufacturer

I don't know how mechanical speed governors work because I don't care.
