CMV Speed Limiter talk again

Who is the fastest in construction and speed zones. It’s often the guy you pass that blows by you in the lower speed zone.

 

It also seems to be the lower speed governed guys who fly thru truck stops and shippers/receivers. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a CR England or Prime truck flooring it thru the truck stop. I guess that’s the only place they can be the fastest thing on the road or something

 

I have a ungoverned truck and I run 62 or less mph. When mty I may let breathe a bit and hit 70 or 80 on occasion for a mile or 2 but that’s about all. ATA pushing this #### again. Along with the road safe America crown. Bunch of imbeciles time to start contacting legislators again.

 

I am of a mind that the speed limiter's need to be on the cars and leave the T/T alone.

 

Speed limiters may be the one thing that brings a total shutdown,

 

IMHO very little chance of that happening. Too many ticked off voters.
It took a while, but the 55 mph national speed limit was eventually dumped, as were the ridiculous 85 mph speedometers on cars of the early 80's. Same with the "seat belt interlock" that was required in 1974 model cars that was rescinded in less than 90 days by Congressmen who were getting an earful from their constituents. Technology has easily allowed speed limiters on cars since the late 1990's with ECM's keeping track of all data. Never been proposed, much less voted on.
The cell phone carriers (AT+T, Verizon, T-Mobile) have the capability right now to stop all distracted driving problems caused by the phones on their network. They could send out a signal to reprogram the phones' screen to go blank if the GPS picked up motion faster than 5 mph. That would cause an uproar.
They can pick on trucks because the voting block is small, and everybody hates trucks.

 

Also they know us drivers don’t or won’t stick together in mass

 

Its already in play in Canada (Ontario and Quebec) and I'll be honest. With very light to light traffic it's not bad. When there's medium to heavy it's terrible. It's literally just Nascar for 400 miles. Bumper to bumper for miles. Relentless tailgating 4 wheelers doing 63MPH even though you can only do 65. 10 minute passes, I've personally seen 20 minute passes.

They definitely make the roads more dangerous. If they pass it in the United States, I'll probably hang up the keys for good.

 

I love when I'm in a 70+ state and I'm doing 80+ to pass and GTFO out of the way while my own fellow drivers tailgate TF out of me even though it takes me 30 seconds to pass and get over.

I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for my so called professional equals driving like 4 wheelers.

I really don't care how fast you drive but I do deserve a little respect while I GTFO of your way in a very timely fashion.

You bring these regulations on the entire industry for driving like idiots.
