An Open Letter * USA - To the Obama and McCain Campaigns
From Stephen C. and Susan P. Owings, Co-founders, Road Safe America: New President Urged to Support Truck Speed Limiters; Cost-Free Method to Reduce Fatalities and Save Fuel
Atlanta,GA,USA -MarketWatch -Oct 24, 2008: -- Dear Senators Obama and McCain: Please consider the facts: (here some ones) ...-- Reducing truck speeds through the activation of speed governing technology is already accepted by many trucking firms as a way to cut fuel use as well as improve safety. With a reduction of only 5 mph, millions of gallons of fuel can be saved annually in the nation's trucking fleet -- in addition to saving untold numbers of lives.
-- Most truck drivers are paid by the mile, pushed to drive faster and farther, for more hours at a time than the law allows.
-- More truck drivers die on the job than nearly any other vocation. With more than 800 truckers killed in highway crashes annually, it's one of the deadliest professions in America.
