Truckers warn speed caps will cause crashes, jam highways

I'm against it, even though I'm governor already, but if you look at this from the general public's view, it seem like a good idea. And we know people makes law in the trucking industry without even driven a truck

 

If it just has to be, then 68 mph is a good compromise.

 

I'm surprised noone has mentioned that there already is a 'speed cap'.... it changes from time to time but it's generally posted on big black and white signs.
You know, the majority of speeding I see is governed rigs. Truck stop parking lots, going 10 over through rural towns or work zones... Mr. eLog trying to make up time.

This topic should really be getting more attention from the general public. Today, trucks are in the cross hairs. Tommorow it will be every other vehicle on the road.

 

The impact of a semi hitting a car can be just as great if even a 60 mph trk hit them it's all about not paying attention while driveing.
.Wonder what the next law when they see speed limiters don't work and then the industry will be forced to this law for good.

 

That's a great point cotton....spot effin on. Never really thought about how many times I'm passed in construction zones by a pumpkin or swifty or prime truck.

 

Just tell them to look at LA freeways, because that's what it will be like!

 

They just like to make new laws up to try and appease the general (believe everything they see and read on the news and not use on once of intelligence) public instead of enforcing the current laws already in place.

 

Force = mass × acceleration. Getting hit at 65 will be no less deadly than at 70. Either these lawmakers failed high school physics, or they are hiding their true reasons for pushing this law behind feel good bs excuses.

 

The number of deaths caused by road rage is sure to go up.
