Every truck in the country should be equipped with a governor to limit them to 55 mph.

Yeah, Ok... maybe fine for down in the flatlands... but I dare you to try and shove a governed truck over one of the mountain passes out here in the west... Not fun.

I can imagine that putting 55mph governors on trucks would work fine on flat land, but they're going to get really irritated when traffic drops to 35 going up the next hill.

I don't mind sharing the highway with semis, but I don't run next to one any longer than I need to at speed. It's just an exercise in physics - you give 'em their due regard by virtue of mass and inertia.
