FAST FACTS
- Higher differential of vehicle speeds in traffic flow increases the risk of an accident and speed limiters cause speed variance.
- The frequency of interactions by a vehicle traveling 10-miles per hour below the posted speed limit is 227% higher than a vehicle moving at traffic speed.
- The American Trucking Associations (ATA) petitioned the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to impose a speed limiter mandate that would restrict all heavy-duty trucks to a single top speed across the country
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
WHAT’S THE SOLUTION?
- The Deregulating Restrictions on Interstate Vehicles and Eighteen-Wheelers (DRIVE) Act (H.R. 3039) would prohibit FMCSA from implementing regulations mandating the use of speed limiters on heavy-duty trucks
