An effort in California would require speed limiters on all vehicles in the state – including large trucks. We’ll discuss that, plus efforts at the federal level to require speed limiters on trucks. Also, can you get a second chance on a ticket once the court closes the case? David Grimes and Alex Clark of CDL Legal join the program to explain. And trucker Robyn Roberts also joins the show to talk about her pursuit of a college degree after two successful careers, one of which was behind the wheel.
