SPEED LIMITER* Canada - Bradley and Bradley team up at Truck World for demo
Toronto,ONT,CAN -Truck News, by James Menzies -24 April 2008: -- Ontario Trucking Association (OTA) chief David Bradley and Ontario Transport Minister Jim Bradley (no relation) held a demonstration at Truck World to show how easy it is to set a truck's speed limiter... Adam Whitney of Cummins helped the Minister set a truck's speed limiter to 105 km/h using a laptop connected to the truck's ECM... Minister Bradley then fielded some questions from the press and voiced his optimism that the bill would be passed by the Legislature... He also suggested Quebec may soon join Ontario in finally enacting its own speed limiter law, which is already on the books but not yet enforced... When asked how the province plans to enforce the law and ensure the system is tamper-proof, Bradley said: "MTO personnel will be trained in how to detect anyone who's been tampering, as will police services – the OPP. That training will take place and any equipment they need will be purchased so they can detect any tampering. And of course, there will be significant penalties that would go with that."...
