All military vehicles can go past 50km/hr, the max speed for a
rover i'm not sure but a 5Ton can go up to 110km/hr if i didn't
remember wrong.
Rover and most of the old manual vehicles speed is controlled by
the SWD which will beep whenever the driver goes above the speed
limit and if the counter jumps, the driver will get into trouble
cause its a sign he speed for a considerable distance. Some drivers
who like want to speed sometimes will disconnect the SWD but once
discovered i think its going to be alot of extra if not even
charge.
5 Ton speed limit is program into the ECU so its harder for drivers
to just speed with the 5 Ton, there are ways of cause which i know
but thats something confidential and the last thing we need is any
drivers knowing the way to do it...
Speed limit of 50 is set by SAF i would say more for protection of
the drivers and other road users as many SAF drivers are not very
experience and going slow gives them more time to react. In war all
such devices and programs to control vehicle speed can be easily
disabled to let the vehicles reach their respective max speed.
