1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2008

I drive on I 80 nyc to williamsport, PA during week days and there is no travel I would record without an incident involving high speeding trucks (especially from out of NY state) which endangered my life in many occasions. I am compelled to report this type of speed anomaly since last time when driving west on i80, on the left lane passing another truck at 68 mph, when a trailer-truck from out of state tailgated me so close he almost touched me while trying to force me to overs-peed. Scared to death I continuously blew the horn which rather had him continue closing-in to the point of contact. Another time a trailer coming from right lane while I was parallel to him he started changing to left lane and pushed me out on the shoulder (lucky to have enought space) and continued without any sign of trying to avoid a collision. Please consider introducing national legislation to reduce the truck highway speed by at least 10 mph lower than the maximmum allowed for all other vehicles. This is common standard in europe and saves lifes.
