Another problem throwing in my voice here because I am a Truck Driver, is with many states they increase the speed limits of cars but lower the speed limits of trucks. For instance California has a speed limit of 70 mph for cars and normal trucks, but any Semi's must go 55 mph. The same with other states like Illinois, cars 65 mph while trucks must go 55 mph. This one of two examples that are very concerning because California proclaims that a rolling road block becoming a standing road block is actually safe. Yet when you ask for their proof they have it stashed somewhere and can't access it. I know nobody likes to be behind us but if you let us actually try and go with the flow of cars we aren't that bad at all. Ohio is bad with cars going 70 but trucks must go 55 except on the Ohio Turnpike then it is all 65 mph. What's interesting is that many states do not get much federal funding because of this for their highways which is why Illinois is mostly toll. Almost if anything I would be in favor of lowing car speed limits because while we are going slower and slower cars are going faster and faster. If we get rear ended it will be our fault for going so slow. Don't laugh it actually happened in Arizona, a truck driver got rear ended and caused a seven car pile up because his truck was restricted at 52 mph when the speed limit was 75 mph. He got fined for going too slow and the trucking company he worked for nearly got shut down because they were refusing to up their speed governing on the trucks. They were forced to put them at 60. I'm all for speed in many ways but you have to see it from my stand point, I drive a vehicle that several state gov't think me going upwards of 20 mph slower than cars is safe when it isn't. It's asking for trouble and it brings trouble especially in California which is known as Truckers Hell. If anything make a speed limit that is reasonable for both Semi and Car.
