That would be more of a problem if the only input for the speed limiter was engine RPM. Well, even though a lower top speed may eventually become a problem to merge with the traffic in some expressways, depending on how the speed limiter is tuned would still enable the cut-off limit to vary according to the gear selected (a similar setup had been used in some 50cc motorcycles in my country in order to enable them to be registered as mopeds).
