Why Speed?

July 1st that finally ends in Ohio and Illinois.

 

I knew about Slowhio but not Illinois. Thanks.

 

I heard it the same way you just did...maybe we better verify it? I'm pretty sure they both are going up though.

 

LOL. Yeah, might be a decent idea to verify, but still, I'm not likely to change my driving habits either way.

 

I was wrong. If the governor signs it ,it won't take effect until Jan.1,2010. So much for CB info? Here's the story that rookietrucker linked.

Illinois has never allowed the trucks to run the same speed as cars except for when the national speed limit was 55.

It has went before the governor 3 or 4 times.

They have been of both parties and not once have they signed. I do not expect it this time either.

 

If he doesn't sign it this time ,maybe we should organize a boycott of Illinois?

 

What good would it do?

Chicago is the area that is against it. Go figure.

Both parties answer to that area.
