Road Safe America Press Room
Road Safe America is dedicated to making our highways safer. We feel that the number of crashes between heavy commercial trucks and passenger vehicles is not only horrendously high, but rather simply improved. We encourage the use of speed governors which limit the maximum speed these trucks can travel to 65 mph. We also encourage the use of Electronic On Board Recorders and all other forms of technology which could make the heavy truck a safer vehicle with which to share the road.
Road Safe America is not anti-trucking. We feel that the average trucker is grossly underpaid and overworked. We believe that this is both unsafe and immoral. Press coverage and press releases from Road Safe America:
