A step closer to speed limiters

@Straight Stacks shouldn't bother your guys operation the nuts are chopped to 58 already right?

 

Tell that to California

 

You dawg.

 

Good luck speed limiting my mechanical CAT

 

They'll require a 4x4 block of wood under your accelerator then. Flintstones speed limiter.

 

I know youre not being serious but doesn't life insurance void your policy if your death is rules a suicide? May need to rethink your plan there.

Hmmm...what happens when the $#!+ hits the fan when everybody is bunched up? Whether it is restrictor plates at Daytona or Talladega or a speed limiter on heavy trucks, it has the same result. Traffic bunches up, and then somebody goofs up & takes out a bunch of other motorists...

 

Your buddy scottie will be leading the pack this law goes into affect... In do time

 

Susan Collins senator from Maine is no friend of truckers......

Good riddance ....(she's not running for reelection )

P.S. ATA sucks too

 

If the trucks are all actually governed the rule doesn't work. In Canada we are a bit more patient than you south of the border (no offense). Put trucks side by side forever Americans going to be royally pissed. I see a lot of unnecessary stupid actions by irate car drivers in retaliation of two trucks side by side forever because one can't pass the other. The only reason it sort of works in ontario is lots of us have ours setup so it will actually exceed 65 mph but still show 65. Sometimes it's better to just take it up to 70 for a short time then back to 62 or 65. We aren't supposed to do this but we do.

I hope someone studies the data before and after the rule goes into place. Show us how accident rates have gone up or down. That is what it's all about, right? I know, wishful thinking.
