Abstract: A limiting system having a sensor probe extending from the bottom, which makes contact to the traveled surface beneath a golf car, under which the device is mounted. The golf car control device has the capacity to differentiate between a golf car path, or if grass, audibly notifies as such. If path recognition by the golf car path control device is not differentiated when a first preset time interval expires, then operator of the golf car will be warned and after a second preset time interval the operation of the golf car may be terminated. The same limiting system has an internal capacity to recognize a preset impact force originating from an angle at a horizontal plane; responding more sensitively to that force from the front or rear of a vehicle versus from the side, and if the preset force is exceeded, thence terminating operation of the vehicle.
