<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">States have differing speed limits, and some of them have different speed limits for cars and trucks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A speed limit for all vehicles already allows for the longer stopping distance of trucks. They don’t require that a driver use his or her personal discretion to determine the proper speed that is less than the posted limit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How could they?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No two drivers would come up with the same result?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Other than what is posted as a speed limit for cars and/or trucks, I know of no additional rule or law that compels a truck driver to run slower than what it posted.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">If there is something in the law that required the driver in the Nevada crash to slow down for the crossing, what does it say?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What speed limit does it establish for the crossing?</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span> </span></span></p>
