4/4/03-OOIDA officials expect Ohio to introduce legislation by May 1 to eliminate the state’s speed differential between commercial and motor vehicles.

1/17/03-OOIDA officials have reopened discussions with Ohio lawmakers about re-introducing legislation in this year's session to eliminate the state's speed differential between commercial and motor vehicles.
Todd Spencer, executive vice president at OOIDA, encourages Ohio association members to call or visit their lawmakers. Spencer says it is important that members get acquainted with their state lawmakers and communicate that uniform speeds are safer for all drivers. Spencer also suggests AAA Ohio Auto Club members contact club officials and ask that they either support or, at the least, not oppose the measure.
The Ohio General Assembly opened Jan. 6 and is expected to adjourn in about six months.
