The government is requiring speed limiters on semi's
You can thank the ATA for that one. American Trucking Association. You can also thank the Trucking Alliance.
You can especially thank people like:
Steve Williams, CEO of Maverick Transportation USA (https://www.maverickusa.com/): “I’ve spent my entire career in the trucking industry. There’s simply no legitimate reason for an 80-foot tractor trailer to be driven within a few feet of other motorists, at speeds of 70 or 75 or 80 miles per hour.” Steve Williams, chairman and CEO of Maverick USA in Little Rock, Ark., co-founder and president of the Trucking Alliance and also a former chairman of the American Trucking Associations, said in a statement posted on the Trucking Alliance website.
and Chuck Hammel, el presidente of Pitt Ohio (https://pittohio.com/myPittOhio/): “I think it’s a good idea and so does our safety group,” Chuck Hammel, president of Pitt Ohio, the nation’s 15th-largest LTL carrier, told LM. Pitt Ohio has won the prestigious ATA President’s Trophy in the Over 100 Million Miles category for truck safety multiple times. This marks the seventh time PITT OHIO has received this award; winning every year the company has been eligible. “We have had speed limiters on our trucks for many years,” Hammel said. “They are set at 67 MPH. We feel the slower everyone drives the safer the road will be.”
Don't be so quick to blame .gov for things....and it's not a law, yet...

Hell, even with 24.5s my ol kenworth won’t go 67 mph!
Ask these clowns if they'd like to go back to Double Nickel.

Overcoming him in a fair election would be easy... overcoming the King County Election Fraud Machine is the hard part.

I was headed up into the hills this morning to pick up the remainder of the mother load of brass I could not get last night. As many of you know the glare on those roads is horrendous and you cannot see anything at times. Yesterday, on the way up I was almost hit by the first of five off-road vehicles like Jeeps, Toyotas and the like, that were comin down the mountain fast. BASSTURDS, slow the Fukk down!!!! Anyways I was in one of those glare spots when I came around the corner and then there is a HUGE road grader taking up the whole road. I just about missed him but clipped his massive tire with my left front fender. The Subaru has considerable damage to the fender area. I’ll tell you this, it could’ve been a lot worse because I had slowed down considerably this morning knowing that I had my granddaughter in the backseat. Everyone is safe with no injuries.

Thanks diamondback, it was just a freaking tap too, not like I slammed into him doin a buck-fifty at the speedway.
Back when I was working a detail, I always said "winning is everybody walks away with no permanent bodily harm, everything past that is a bonus." :)
