NHTSA or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is working to enforce new braking standards intended to decrease serious accidents by improving truck stopping distance by 30 percent.
They estimate that the new braking requirement will save 227 lives a year, will prevent 300 serious injuries, and reduce property damage costs by over $169 million annually.
Road Safe America has launched a web-based national petition drive to create community demand for President Obama, Congress, and DOT or department of transportation to require speed governors be set at 65 MPH or lower on heavy commercial vehicles. They have been standard equipment on trucks since 1992, but are not required to be activated to regulate and enforce the 65 MPH.
Anyone interested is supporting the petition is encouraged to sign the petition at http://www.roadsafeamerica.org/.
