Enforcement approaches to speeding heavy vehicles [1]
The ATA’s submission to the NTC discussion paper on enforcement approaches to speeding heavy vehicles argues that the NTC should not proceed with its proposal for a power to immediately ground heavy vehicles travelling 15 km/h or more over posted or default speed limits (for example, a vehicle travelling at 78km/hr in a 60km/hr zone).
Instead, the submission urges the NTC to adopt the ATA’s long standing position of supporting the grounding of heavy vehicles for speeding offences of 15 km/h or more over the open road 100 km/h limit when the detected speeding occurs on a flat road.
