    I am against limiters but there are days where i am stuck behind some idiot driver who thinks he can pass a truck going 62 by going 63 and think "yes govern these trucks at 50 and not allow them out of the right lane".

    I wish these idiots would learn that going a couple miles above another truck does not make passing fast and holding up others just pisses off those who are behind them.

    If they really want to improve highway safety, make them three laners each way not just two. Two lanes cause more problems than it's worth.

    Then again I watched the NJT (New Jersey Turnpike) Grow from 4 lanes to something like two sets of grotesquely overbuilt roads with like 16 lanes each way..

    You don't say?? Color me shocked that a trade group headed by a bunch of mega carrier executives would persue their own interests over those of the little guy.
