Is overspeed an infringement?
An overspeed event occurs at a sustained speed of 91 kmh or more for a minute.

It is therefore not possible for an overspeed event to be a legal infringement.

Why does my Ford F150 misfire at 50 mph?
It would idle alright, but when I would get between 45-50 MPH, the engine would misfire badly. It felt as if I was going over a rumble strip, as someone else described it. If I let off the pedal, the problem would stop. If I pressed the pedal down hard, the problem would stop.
