Things You Should Know About Speed Limiters. The FMCSA is moving forward with speed limiters. This will include all vehicle with a gross weight of 26,000 pounds or more.
The proposed speed will be either 60, 65 or 68mph. Many advocates have stated that speed limiters are a danger. Citing that split speeds cause people to interact more and thus increasing the odds of an accident. For example. When one vehicle is moving ten mile per hour faster than another. He/she if forced to make more moves than others.
Please write in and tell us your thoughts on this matter. Let us know if you agree with the FMCSA or are against the ruling. Explain to us what you feel should be done about this argument.
Two Semi Trucks hit the same bridge an hour apart
In Joliet IL this past Friday. Not one but two tractor-trailers hit the same exact bridge. At 5.30 AM the first semi truck wedged itself under the bridge. At 6.30AM, an hour later, another semi truck hit the bridge in the left lane.
This editors advice to drivers? If you see a bridge and are unsure of the height, don’t move forward. Now, if you are approaching and there is another semi-truck already stuck under the bridge. Dont try going under it. Thats a special kind if ignorance.
