like a honda or metro or smart car or yugo or other 12 inch wheeled SELFconscious econo driver, it is not about speed, it is about safety.

The dynamics of throttle and driver is safety...limiting trucks is like limiting a ferrari or vette or anything. Target rigs and target anything. It is a political move. Not a real one.

limit drivers and little cars from 65mph places and see what uproar ensues...even though that made more sense.

62mph is a 1980s mechanical injection speed limiter foir rigs, those a re looooooong gone as a majority where I live. now there is speed limits and ability to be aggressive when needed/wanted with more mileage than ever.

may as well ban fuel injection, see how much fuel gets saved. No gas tanks allowed, must be fuel celled, no more than a suingular point of atomizing for all cylinders, see what kind of hoorah gets babbled then...
the truck limiting, it is ridiculous. And the momentum gained faster is a speed achevied realistically faster, and that wequals backing off the throttle. Ashame...the babble just keeps on babbling...without truth.
