I find when they clock trucks at 105 it becomes more of a hazard...Go down to the sourthern states where the limits in day ar 85MPH, and being governed at 65mph... :shock:

i can't wait till something happens... cars swerving to get around trucks because they're going so slow and then get boxed in and crushed. imagine a truck trying to merge on some roads going 105km/h??? maybe 110km/h downhill with a tailwind? :roll: most people have tunnel vision where they simply only watch in front of them and don't bother to change lanes to let slow vehicles merge...

I used to do deliveries in different trucks here years ago. Now that i'm working odd hours, i'm driving in town more during week daylight hours. I couldn't do a delivery job anymore, i'd be in jail within a week for killing someone with my bare hands.

I love the air horn on my rig, and if I don't make it in time to stop for the person cutting me off... Well, I have a nice big bumper, and it will be 2/3 of the way into their car :wink:

I was on a bus eireann journey from dublin to belfast a week or 2 ago now, they have cameras on the front of the buses and film the entire journey. Must be as a result of what you're discussing here.
Everything over 7.5 ton here is limited to 55mph on motorways, anything with a trailer is 50mph. It all seems to work fine, I sit behind them when on the motorway. The only problems caused are the age it takes to overtake each other. One example the other day was 4 miles!

Most companies around here lock the trucks at 68mph, however there are a few that let the trucks wide open, such as my brother lol, truck/trailer grossing 80,000lbs, Cat C15 Twin Turbo Boosted to 600HP, Straight pipe 6inch dual stacks...Screaming down the highway at 85mph :twisted:
