The earliest citation I can find for this is a 1994 email.

I wonder if it has any grain of truth to it!

The nice thing about urban legends nowdays, is that the text is largely
unchanged from version to version, unlike urban legends spread by verbally!
In this case, the only changes I noticed were the "morals" attached to the
end (one was something like "speed doesn't hurt, but stopping does", and the
other was something like "JATOs don't have an on/off switch").
