I can't remember their name. There are several out there.
What I'm tired of is the fact that the stats behind those accidents are always left out of the reports. In researching my paper, here is some of what I found (these are from 2005 records):
1. In fatal crashes between big trucks and cars, 68% of these crashes were the fault of the driver of the passenger car.
2. In fatal crashes between big trucks and cars where drowsiness or sleepiness is cited as a factor, the driver of the passenger vehicle is cited 94% of the time.
These stats came from FMCSA Analysis Division's report of Large Truck Crash Facts. The media portrayal and these other organizations need to actually learn and report all of the facts, not just what suits their purpose. | I can NOT UNDESTEND that thinking in this politicians and people in citizen rights, I can referee that Movie “Night at the Museum” where is seen for stone head called DUM DUM wanted more gum gum it remain me uneducated drivers and politicians. If every Driver License holder is required to go to school and take a ride to the road in big truck minimum 100 mile in city traffic before they have privilege to drive in road, (In Finland ALL DRIVERS are required to go to school to learn to drive with trainer)we will have fewer accidents. Education is the key in safe driving even in 200 mph law is same (see car race and learn).”Fix the problem in ground level and you can build strong building.”  |
