That's exactly what happened in Ontario and Quebec. They preached safety BUT it was to keep a level palying field and to limit drivers as to their choices. It had SFA to do with safety.

Rick G>whether trucks can run the speed limit or not is a moot point. Some of us run along all day @ 60 mph because we want to. Its no different than 4 wheelers>some do the speed limit, some do less than the speed limit and still some exceed the speed limit.

So then when I move with an oversize permit |I should ignore the speed limit provision and drive the speed limit in the name of safety. I'll explain that to the officers that stop me>are you paying the fines?
RickG>you will NEVER have all vehicles doing the speed limit. -
No , we will never have all vehicles running the speed limit because cheap ### carriers like Prime and Schneider competing at BFI rates put low operating costs at a higher priority over safety . -
RickG>I don't support speed limiter laws in any way BUT you also know that there will never be vehicles all travelling the speed limit on the roadways. There's just too many variables.
