95% of the roads I drive on are only 100 km/h (62 mph) anyways so I could really give a rat's behind if they implemented speed limiters up here. Never been pulled over for speeding and don't intend to start now.

So it sounds like where it has been implemented in Canada it causes more accidents because trucks start to tailgate since they are all going the same speed. This makes changing lanes to exit/merge more difficult for cars and automobile drivers become more aggressive and cut off trucks causing more accidents and fatalities.
Interesting.
The law of unintended consequences at work.
Hopefully American bureaucrats pay attention, but it's doubtful.401-Alex and Northern Nomad Thank this. -

So essentially it's trucks driving like idiots and not the speed limiter. Gotcha.
