But, I DO think if ALL the people that are affected by such a law would actually do 60 mph in the right lane, BEFORE such a law is enacted, and make it a point to show the unintended consequences, people might change their mindsAnother Canadian driver, Cattleman84 and Rubber duck kw Thank this. -

What other industry has had the Feds come in and mandate wages be slashed?

I still don’t believe this has much to do with safety.
It’s about control (think mask mandate with limited evidence)
Further ruining an industry that they don’t want to exist due to the environmental agenda
And making electric trucks competitive because otherwise they will never be accepted by the industry
I won’t disagree that reducing speed could increase safety BUT it will only work if everyone is going the same speed
I also think that generally the driving skills of everyone have declined and I think a lot of it has to do with modern day distractions and the level of automation of vehicles. I think there’s a lot of people driving heavy trucks that shouldn’t be but can and do because it takes very little mechanical aptitude which in my experience usually translates into more aware drivers because they tend to be more in tune with their vehicle.
just my observationsItsbrokeagain, JonJon78, Another Canadian driver and 6 others Thank this.
