Speed Control On Big Rigs Would Save Lives


Posted on Jun 20, 2008

Federal transportation officials are weighing a proposal to require devices on commercial trucks that would limit their top speeds to 68 mph. The idea is supported by many large trucking companies and opposed by many smaller, independent carriers.

About 5,000 people die each year in accidents involving commercial trucks.

The Department of Transportation is accepting public comments on the proposal until March 27. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will have the final say. NHTSA studied the idea in 1991 and said it wasn't needed.

Excessive speed is major cause of big truck accidents each year. Many people are injured or killed as a result of speeding trucks. The lawyers are Gray and White Law have represented many families whose loved ones were either killed or seriously injured as a result of a speeding truck gone out of control.
