Does the speed limiter actively brake to keep you below the limit, on a long downhill stretch for example, or does it just limit the throttle to stop you accelerating over 62mph?
If you knock it out of gear on a long downhill I think you can go as fast as you like.
If you are in gear then it will try to limit the speed, you certainly can't accelerate and the the dash constantly flashes warnings.

But with 16 teenagers on board and a long canoe trailer behind, coming down off Shap Fell in the M6 I'm not going to even try to find out exactly what my upper limit is.

On 3rd van so not a total newbie....
On a Ducato it just limits the throttle, I never use now it's caught me out a few times. Been through a village pulling out onto the bypass, put foot down, nothing happens & go into panic mode before I remember it's turned on.
I think the limiter limits you to whatever you set, but you can "push" through the limit if you need to, it's not an absolute limit.
