Lighter Load: It doesn’t take a study to tell ‘safe’ truckers what is dangerous

Quote:

Distracted driving is nothing new, but gadgets keep making it more of a problem.

It used to be a concern that truckers were too busy checking out women in four-wheelers because they could so easily peer into those vehicles. Or perhaps they spent too much time on the CB and didn’t pay attention while driving. And some probably still do those things.

There was and is also the dreaded falling asleep at the wheel issue and consumption of amphetamines to try to stop that drowsy driving.

And four-wheelers have been known to shave, apply makeup, eat, and do other distracting things while driving down the streets and highways of America, too.
