Fergus,ONT,CAN -Truck News -8 April 2010: -- While widespread opposition to Ontario's controversial speed limiter law has mostly petered out, a small group of drivers is claiming the law can cause runaway trucks...

Mooney said it's an issue on downhill grades where, in order to get the full benefit of the engine brake, a driver often must downshift... Mooney said he has tried bringing the issue to Transport Minister Kathleen Wynne's attention but to no avail...Labels: speed limiters
