A vehicle speed reducing system for limiting the speed of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle speed reducing system includes a detector unit for determining a suspension status and a road speed of a vehicle, and outputting a suspension status signal and a vehicle speed signal. A vehicle control device determines whether the vehicle is driven at a non-standard ride height (i.e., air suspended) and exceeds a predetermined maximum speed limit based on the suspension status signal and the vehicle speed signal, respectively. An engine control device limits the speed of the vehicle to a predetermined minimum speed limit if it is determined that the vehicle is driven at the non-standard ride height and exceeds the predetermined maximum speed limit. Since the air suspended vehicle is limited to a minimum speed limit, damage to the vehicle's components is prevented.
