Claim 19:
20. A vehicle speed management system operative to limit a maximum road speed of a vehicle, the vehicle speed management system comprising:
at least one nontransitory processor-readable storage medium that stores at least one of processor-executable instructions or data; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, in operation, the at least one processor:
limits a road speed of the vehicle to a first speed;
receives a request for an override for the vehicle to exceed the first speed, from an operator of the vehicle via a control input interface;
determines a number of times the override for the vehicle to exceed the first speed has been activated during a current activation assessment interval;
in response to a determination that the number of times the override for the vehicle to exceed the first speed has been activated during the current activation assessment interval is below a threshold number of activations per activation assessment interval, wherein the threshold number of activations is greater than or equal to two activations per activation assessment interval:
limits the road speed of the vehicle to a second speed higher than the first speed for an activation interval, wherein the activation interval is a predetermined, fixed distance when the override is activated and wherein the activation interval resets each time a condition for the override is enabled; and
responsive to expiration of the activation interval, limits the road speed of the vehicle to the first speed after the activation interval; and

causes a user interface of the vehicle to concurrently present distance-based statuses of the current activation assessment interval and of the activation interval.
