Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association: Truckers Reject ATA s Call for Speed Limiter Mandate
Increasing speed differentials between trucks and cars means more crashes, road rage
WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / March 5, 2021 / The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation, telling them to reject failed speed limiter proposals that have been resurrected by the American Trucking Associations in coordination with Road Safe America.
OOIDA has long opposed efforts to mandate speed limiting devices because they make roads less safe. Speed limiters increase congestion and speed differentials between trucks and cars, which ultimately lead to more crashes. Additionally, arbitrary speed limits make it difficult for truck drivers to switch lanes to accommodate merging traffic at entrance ramps - or to merge themselves.
