What impact does the Tour H1’s speed limiter have on real world driving and is it really making our roads safer?
The Maruti Tour H1 is fitted with a speed limiting function which limits the top speed of the vehicle to 80 km/h. However, an important safety feature for commercial vehicles in India mandates this feature, which is to prevent excessive speeding and improve road safety. But its implementation has been a contentious issue among drivers, safety experts and everyday commuters. Others say the speed limiter makes highway driving dangerous, because the Tour H1 can’t match the speed of faster traffic or overtake efficiently. Some say it's a lifesaving safety feature that forces taxi drivers to drive safer speeds. They also argue that the limiter impacts how the car operates in urban areas, where no more than 80 km/h is ever reached. Some also wonder if there’s an easy way to get around the speed limiter, so a false sense of security could occur. So, let’s take a deeper dive into how this feature influences day to day driving and if it is actually making the roads safer, or simply causing new problems.
I’ve driven a Tour H1 for work, and I can tell you that speed limiter is more trouble than it’s worth. Try merging onto a highway when you are capped at 80 km/h while everyone else is doing 100+ km/h. Sometimes it’s downright scary!
