When you talk to many car drivers, they complain of “nearly being run off the road” by speeding trucks. Many of us have cut our speed but a wide range of owner operators and small fleets don’t seem to have got the message:
“SLOW DOWN – SAVE FUEL”
Time must be – to them at least – more valuable than money.
During the oil embargo of the 1970’s, speed limits were dropped to 55 mph. The concept of doing this is totally repugnant to us all… but the simple fact remains, we are, as a nation, spending too much on oil. The balance of payments can’t afford this huge spike in imports.
The bottom line: Truckers need to slow down before they are forced to slow down
