Why does Road Safe America want speed governors more than EOBRs?
We don’t necessarily want the speed governors more than the black boxes/EOBRs, however we feel like this is the most obvious first step toward safety since all heavy commercial trucks manufactured since 1992 already have the speed limiting equipment on them. Therefore there is no capital expense involved to simply program these governors at 65 mph or slower so they can stop or nearly stop in a more reasonable distance during an emergency.
