On the limiter

Quick question folks. I was given a coach limited to 55 mph last week. (Apparently it was ordered that way from the manufacturer and needs a new ECU to restore it to 62 mph). When I’m being overtaken I like to ease off so others can pass me easily but I found doing that all the other trucks would try and pass even though though they didn’t have the speed. So should I just stay on the limiter no matter how long it takes the overtaking truck to get past me?

(It’s not likely to happen again as they are getting rid of that vehicle)

Ask your self what you would do if the vehicle in front starts to slow down.

I keep at my cruise speed until the back of the overtaking vehicle has passed me. Then I knock the cruise off about 5 seconds until a gap I’m happy with appears then I hit resume.

Just knock it off one or 2 clicks not so much that you end up at 48/50 with every one trying to get past.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

That’s because they are thick [zb]s, They don’t have the intellect to realise what you are doing, They are obviously travelling to close for this to happen.
Carry on doing what you’re doing and don’t concern yourself with these morons.
As for the limiter and ECU thing, That’s just BS.
