5/29/09-A bill in the Senate Transportation Committee would prohibit commercial trucks from being driven in the state unless they are equipped with governors. The governor device prevents vehicles from being operated at a speed greater than a pre-set maximum allowed speed.
Sponsored by Sen. Marcia Karrow, R-Flemington, S2636 would require trucks operating in the state to have the speed limiting device set at 68 mph.
