    Gentlemen, let’s try and keep the politics out of this as best we’re able to please.

    I think there’s no way the general public would stand for this being imposed on everyone, but as long as it only affects someone else, they’ll be all for it.

    Every 4 wheeler in Ontario thought speed limiters on trucks was a wonderful idea. Until speed limited trucks plugged the highways to the point they can’t use them either. Nobody gets to use the highway when trucks are 2 lanes wide 20’ from one another for miles. Then all you have to do is throw that self righteous #### with the Tilley hat in his Subaru in the left lane at 100kph and nobody goes anywhere. Now they added e-logs to the mix. You people already know how much common sense and reason those bring out in people.

    10-2, 10-4. I was just "thinking Cars" (not the movie).
    There were speed limiters at a local Harris-Teeter D.C. New Volvo Day Cabs with Auto Shaft that were strung out to a devastating 64 m.p.h. I mean we were losing paint.
    Had a few trips and stayed with Switching till something else went sideways.

    NOW, Wouldn't ALL ROADS BE FUN When ALL VEHICLES ROLL at the SAME Top Speed: 64-68. :p;):eek::rolleyes:
