Slow down for construction zones, or else

30 over will get you a Class E Misdemeanor in Maine for Reckless Driving. Add construction zone & ya might get a free ride to someplace that wasn't your destination.

 

Somebody else in Maine on here...nice!

There's no excuse for this. It's not like it takes that long to get through a construction zone, no matter how fast you're driving.

 

Rockland. Running bulk cement powder for H.O. from Dragon in Thomaston.

 

That’s just asking for trouble!

 

Old Orchard. Did a year of OTR reefer with Prime and came off the road last month to deal with family issues. Really wanting to get back on the road.

 

pfftt...only a $500 fine


i'd like to see all fines multiplied by at least 10.

$500.00 x's 10 = $5,000

hit them where it hurts, and put the silver bracelets on'em, charge them with "driving to endanger", make that a felony charge, and impound the equipment, then of course get fired.

 

until the courts drop the hammer, instead of listening to the defense and exchange the charges for say a tail light, this crap will continue. it'll only be a matter of time the Feds come down on speed limiters for ALL trucks, company AND o/o....

i can't wait to see that happen.

 

The driver said he was trying to slow down but there were 4 speed limit signs and a construction warning about a mile before Trooper Wright clocked him

He could not slow down in a mile?
