Interesting. Do most other states not have a separate speed limit for trailers? Most places here it's 55. Decent ticket if the CHiPies are of the mind.
True. In this case, however, I happen to agree with the speed limit. Much more than 55 is silly when towing.
I've towed out of state and didn't notice there weren't any signs postin a different speed limit. Was just curious.
Illinois.
Special 55 mph signs if you are towing a trailer, and all semi's trucks. And they DO ticket for it.
And the most confusing thing on that 55 mph speed limit sign is it also states campers. I take campers as a trailer being towed......wrong it includes MH's.
And to those of you who drive over 70 towing or in a MH, or in a MH towing. I hope the hell I am NOT in front of you when you come flying up behind me and I have to slow down to avoid something in front of me.
You can NOT stop any of those combinations at that speed in time to avoid an accident. Thanks for caring about the safety of me and other drivers on the road and their families.:R
