That is no lieThe Fed's and general public love these ideas. They just don't like paying lowly truck drivers.

The speed limit was 55, but not all trucks were governed to 55. If they do put limiters on all trucks, it will take trucks miles to pass each other. Nobody lets off to let you get past. That will lead to road rage, especially among the passenger vehicles.
No problem trucks in right lane only will solve the passing problem......................................
Anybody who doesn't understand what I'm referring to obviously doesn't spend much time on the highway.So you're saying that because there's a lack of professional conduct by drivers, who refuse to back off and let someone pass, it's crazy to implement simple controls, and folks will die?
The very reason speed limiters are being implemented is because there are far too many unprofessional assholes on the highway driving trucks recklessly.

Remember that there is the "Perfect" world where everybody loves everyone else and then there is the "REAL" world where all those perfect ideals go and die a slow death!Anybody who doesn't understand what I'm referring to obviously doesn't spend much time on the highway.
Assholes in their cars are just as much to blame.So you're saying that because there's a lack of professional conduct by drivers, who refuse to back off and let someone pass, it's crazy to implement simple controls, and folks will die?

I thought the right lane was used by 4- wheelers to come up on your right side, while you are passing someone and they cut in front of you because they are more important, in a big hurry, and you are just another god damn truck in their way???The right lane? Oh, you mean the empty one that no one uses.

Lot of truth to what you say slim. I have always said, you can give me the oldest truck you have to drive, as long as it will pass a safety test. Just pay me the money....The size of the driver's paycheck is inversely proportional to the speed of the truck. In other words, the faster the truck the less the driver is usually making per mile. That chrome won't get you home.
It's like the old junior high saying, the angle of the dangle is inversly proportional to the heat of the meat.
Assholes in their cars are just as much to blame.
Maybe they should consider governors on cars also....I agree. Just the same, said assholes in cars aren't earning a living (mostly) driving. That raises the standard on those of us who are.
Maybe they should consider governors on cars also....
And hold them responsible for the safety of the motoring public as a commercial driver is..... A fast reckless car can kill or do harm to the public as a tractor trailer can . I don't support two speed limits between trucks and cars.... if there is they should be separated from each other. Two different speeds causes traffic to cut in and out of traffic from both trucks and cars. Make the speeds the same and enforce the same.Maybe they should consider governors on cars also....
I agree with what you say, but probably over 50 percent of cars, and trucks exceed the posted speed limits. Can't put a cop out there every mile post. I would applaud any state that would put those construction zone type speed detectors out there, and mail you the ticket.And hold them responsible for the safety of the motoring public as a commercial driver is.....

The inexperienced truck drivers are matched if not exceeded by cars .... in my opinion
Slower speeds will make safer roads. .. but in my opinion. ... enforce the same speed limit for both.
And don't tell me that trucks weight more. .... A bullet weights considerably less and it can do damage. A Slingshot can be dangerous also.... weights considerably less ..... there's a lot of laws for guns.... not so sure for slingshots.
It's common sense to treat others around with care.
I'm not looking for a battle. ... just expressing my opinion.
