So I'm turning off intelligent cruise control as last night on the M20 Smart Motorway section at 3am there was a 40 limit which I was doing. The car must have picked up a national limit off a side road or junction as it started to speed up by itself and before I had time to react I think I got flashed by a camera. Lesson learned not to trust the technology!

Feel for you mate... That's far from ideal. Fingers crossed eh...

I haven't used the intelligent cruise or limiter since having similar experiences.

Did you ever have your speed recognition software updated?

I have contacted the ford dealership again today about the speed sign recognition problems that I am having, they are still not aware of any update for the system.
Does anybody know what they are actually updating so I can inform the dealership
