They say history repeats itself. While not exactly a repeat, it’s pretty darn close to it. The source may be different, but the expected outcome would be the same.
Recently, the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) released to regulators its recommendations ways to improve highway safety. One such item on that list is speed limiters for heavy vehicles, including trucks, busses and motorcoaches. Back in 2016 it was the ATA (American Trucking Association) that was pushing for speed limiters for all trucks. It was proposed to limit all trucks to either 60 or 65 MPH back in 2016.

One stark difference is that while the ATA was seeking to get speed limiters on trucks using flawed data, the NTSB is suggesting a more detailed approach.
