OOIDA Information Update - Utah Members
February 9, 2007
Attention Utah truckers! State Rep. Sheryl L. Allen, R-Bountiful, has filed a bill that would reduce the speed of trucks by 10 mph on rural stretches of interstates and limited-access highways in your state. All other vehicles would be allowed to continue to travel at the current speed limit.
At this time the bill - HB199 - is awaiting assignment to committee. Please take the time to contact your state representative and let him or her know how important this issue is. Lawmakers need to know that split speed limits will make highways less safe by causing cars and trucks to be in constant conflict.
