Over the past several years, there has been an increase each year in the number of fatal truck accidents that occur. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), one of the most critical reasons for this increase is due to rising speed limits. In 1995, many states began increasing highway speed limits from 55 to 65 mph, and quite a few have since increased their highway speed limit to 70 mph. In Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, there are some areas where the speed limit is 80 mph. Kansas, Nebraska, and several other states have a 75-mph speed limit.
