In the past several years I have grown quite concerned and quite frightened at times when I'm on the highway. The proposed legislation would not allow courts to lower fines.
Current laws give judges a range in which they can assign a fine.
The proposed crack down on speeding truckers won the immediate endorsement of the state's main trucking industry association. Burruss showed up at the bill's announcement to voice his support. We've done a survey of some drivers and they are in support of it. The association represents trucking companies. But from the drivers, too, came words of support.
