Was driving through a 50 zone on the M6 this week with the usual averaging cameras.
Road was too busy to use cruise control so switched to the speed limiter.
As I was changing to a slower lane with a Transit 2 inches off my rear the limiter suddenly deactivated and the car suddenly propelled forward hard (because my foot was pressing the accelerator quite a lot).
At first I thought the van had hit me but no, it was just the limiter deactivating.
Anyone had anything similar?
Or was it just a freak blip?
(Worth noting that unlike other limiters I've used, the Merc one doesn't let you override it by pressing the pedal to the floor)
