As a CDL holder that legislation will do nothing to make the roads safer. Actually it might do the opposite. If you use I-10 between Tucson and Phoenix as an example here is what will happen. The trucks will have to drive in the RH lane at the limited speed. It will be either 65 or 68. 4 wheelers probably average 75 + on that road. Those cars will be weaving in and out of that RH lane. The truck line ups will be miles long. Trucks move over when they encounter any vehicle on the side of the road. Now that elephant rain will be in the center lane with 4 wheelers flying by either side. I pity those that travel on 2 lane state highways. The real solution would be to limit the speed of ALL vehicles. BTW: The rule would only cover trucks and busses. Not MH's. The OOIDA has a lawsuit ready to squash that proposed rule. Be prepared for higher prices on consumer goods as freight rates will go up.
