Speed limit of 145mph



Mrs H recently heard about problems with a new Alfa Romeo and its speed limit warning system. On a stretch of 30mph urban road it showed a limit of 145mph for example.

Not an unknown problem apparently -

My Tonale is now just over a year old and from new has coped very badly with recognising speed limits.

I have it showing 10mph in 40, 45mph in 20, 145mph in 40 - you get the idea.

This is every day not just every so often.

And yet... I have ridden as a passenger in Golf ID 7 and it responded well to changing speed limits. It even sounded a polite 'beep' when the limit was exceeded, not intrusive.

DJ - the explanation from the Alfa Romeo owner was "well it's Italian". I expect it will be sorted. An underlying question is how much the car records about driver behaviour.
