Safety groups call for 60 mph speed limiters on trucks

This right here.

A line of trucks with drivers ready to pop, with some in the left lane trying to pass at 0.75 MPH faster. Lots of guys hanging it up.

 

Lolz, they also want to limit class 3-6
For those unsure what that means, it means most pickup trucks too, but an suv pulling an rv is fine...
:eyeroll:

 

Just imagining stretches with no 3rd lane like i65 between indy and Chicago for the most part. What a mess that would be.

 

YEILD, nope no idea what that means!

 

I am all for it. We need to be slowed down.

 

Lol…!!!


What we need is honest to God truck drivers! Instead, we have what ever the hell this is today with their feet up on the dash, phone attached to the center of the steering wheel so they can do whatever it is their doing, along with watching movies on IPads setting on the dash.

But in all fairness, what do we see from drivers in cars around us? Driving skills seem to be a joke with many anymore….

 

I don't care so much about cars. They are predictable.

As long as I maintain my lane and adhere to the posted speed limits I will be fine.

Trucks need to be limited. 60 is extreme but i wouldn't care.

 

I agree with you. Talk to some young kids. Some dont even care to get a car license and drive. It was considered such freedom when I was 16. Its not a big deal to most. I'm afraid the responsibility is seen the same.

Its long gone the principle of truck drivers are here to protect other motoring public. Now just a bunch selfish dinks in a hurry looking for easy money.

 

You’re free to drive 60 now and be as safe as you want.

 

60 will be for electric trucks.
50 for diesel trucks.
We all must do our part for the liberal world order.

 

My house AC is more important!
