Dumbest law ever, might as well throw the log book out the window because the pirates will thick. Can you imagine the races out in the desert with a truck going 1/2 a mile an hour faster, flat ass dumb!!

I drive a 65mph truck, but I am sure this will pose a safety hazard and flood the crowded roads with more trucks and underskilled drivers tailgating and pileups on interstates resulting. We do not know pileups like have seen from documentaries and reality shows in Europe, get ready for it.

Who to write letters to, GMAN?

To your Congressman and Senator.

if this goes through would you c a strike or would everyone just deal with it ?
first trucks then cars?

[One]

Strike? The only ones striking anymore are unions....it seems hard to unite the us population...besides, most drivers are strapped enough to where they cannot sit for a week.

[ken_o]

so what you r saying this is an underhanded way for large carriers to push out o/o leavingmore freight for them.
i dought anyonethat has their own truck paid for bythemselves would voluntarily turn their trucks down that leaves one of 3 options.
1 every one stops
2 everyone hangs up the keys
3 everyone fights so it doesnt go through

[yoopr]

and none of those 3 things will happen

While I laugh at this pathetic attempt at a new law, which will never fly. I laugh even harder at the 'supertruckers' who say how unsafe this new law would be.

Ok, I do not claim to be a supertrucker, but I did express my reservations about this law....So whats so funny? If you wanna discuss wether this law makes us safer or not, go right ahead, Im willing and able to discuss> If not, dont diss people that feel different from you without backing your view up.

1) How can there be cluster driving if everyone is driving the same speed? The only way that can happen is if everyone somehow comes out the onramp at the exact same time. Cluster driving is due to poor driving habits, not some law that was passed by congress.

2) The "one driver taking half an hour to pass another driver" argument. Again, poor driving habits. If it really takes that long to pass, why is he passing? He might gain 10-15 seconds to his destination. When I come up to a driver going 1 mph slower then me(INCLUDING four wheelers), maybe I'll just slow down? Of course, keep a safe distance, and not create a cluster.

3) The "not being able to pass a four wheeler" argument. If the four wheeler didn't want you to pass, THE SPEED LIMITER WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Face it, a car can outdo any truck on the highway. If he's being an ass, it doesn't matter if you have a "king of the hill 625 hp cat", you're not getting by!
